CX2 today announced Vadris, a lightweight RF seeker that attaches to any first-person-view (FPV) drone and turns it into a counter-drone hunter. Designed for the realities of modern swarm warfare, Vadris enables warfighters to locate and neutralize the control point behind enemy drone operations.Modern battlefields are saturated with low-cost drones. Each one may cost only hundreds or thousands of dollars, yet the interceptors used to stop them can cost hundreds of thousands. It’s an equation the U.S. can’t win by shooting arrows; it has to find the archer.That’s where Vadris comes in.

The compact sensor attaches to any FPV platform and detects control-signal emissions in real time, showing a simple on-screen arrow that guides operators to the source of enemy drone operations.

“When swarms arrive, you don’t chase every drone. You find who’s launching them,”

said Nathan Mintz, CEO of CX2. “Vadris targets the archer, not the arrow.”Adversaries are now flying low-cost drones in coordinated waves, with Russia launching the largest drone assault ever this September. As these attacks scale, the Department of Defense is calling for faster, cheaper, and more adaptable counter-UAS capabilities. Vadris answers that call: a compact, affordable sensor that turns every FPV pilot into a counter-drone hunter.

‍Key capabilities include:

• Drone-Agnostic Integration: Compatible with most COTS Group 1 FPV drones and 2S-6S power systems.
• Field-Tested Performance: Proven in U.S. military exercises where operators consistently located hidden controllers after just minutes of training.
• Real-Time Detection: Identifies control-signal emissions and displays a clear on-screen arrow that points to the source of the threat.
• Rapid Deployment: Mounts and calibrates in minutes for immediate field use.
• Lightweight & Rugged: Weighing just over one pound, Vadris can fly on small drones and operate reliably in demanding conditions.
• Range-Equipped: Detects control signals across typical FPV operating distances; if a drone can reach you, Vadris can find it.
• American-made & NDAA-Compliant: U.S.-sourced components for unrestricted deployment.

Vadris extends CX2’s mission to deliver spectrum dominance for the United States and its allies, ensuring warfighters can see, decide, and act faster than the threat on the invisible battlefield.
