Sugar Cube 4.0 Drone Detector – Tactical UAV Threat Awareness
The modern battlefield is dominated by drones. From low-cost FPV loitering munitions to advanced ISR platforms like Orlan and Zala, unmanned systems pose a constant threat to maneuver elements, command posts, and critical infrastructure. The Sugar Cube 4.0 Drone Detector provides frontline forces with a compact, reliable solution for early warning and situational awareness against hostile UAVs.
Operational Advantages
-
Wide-Spectrum UAV Detection
Covers 400–1020 MHz, 1.1–1.3 GHz, 2.3–2.6 GHz, and 5.75–5.9 GHz for comprehensive monitoring of drone control and telemetry links. -
Proven Against Multiple Threats
Capable of identifying FPV drones, Orlan, Zala, and commercial platforms such as DJI Mavic—the most common systems encountered in modern conflict zones. -
Extended Detection Ranges
Detects military UAVs at up to 15 km and low-altitude or commercial drones at up to 1 km, giving units time to react and reposition. -
Tactical Alerting
Delivers immediate sound, vibration, and LED alerts for dismounted troops. Can also be networked into battle management systems via ATAK plug-in integration for shared situational awareness. -
Lightweight, Soldier-Proof Design
At just 7 × 5 × 3 cm and 200 g, Sugar Cube is easily carried by individual operators, fits in a pocket, and is ruggedized for battlefield use. -
Endurance for Extended Missions
Operates for up to 20 hours on a single rechargeable 18650 battery, or operate off your ATAK EUD battery. Simple USB C charging ensures fast sustainment in the field. -
Combat-Tested & Fielded
Over 50,000 units are currently deployed with the Ukrainian Armed Forces, validated at TRL-9 and trusted in daily combat operations.
Mission Impact
The Sugar Cube 4.0 is not a lab prototype—it is a battlefield-proven tool designed to keep units alive in contested airspace. By providing rapid, reliable early warning, it enables small units and command posts to detect drone threats before they strike, improving survivability and mission effectiveness.

SFRT
— Josiah L.GoTAK EUDs proved invaluable during our mission, providing real-time situational awareness, secure team communication, and geospatial intelligence on the objective. We used it to map out infil/exfil points, track team positions, and maintain live comms. Its integration into our overall command and control directly enabled the survivors safe recovery with minimal risk to the team.
Upstate NY Police Dept.
— Patrol Officer Marco S.Since introducing ATAK, my department is now looking at EUDs for every officer and SWAT team. Buying devices, setting them up, getting a TAK server running and making sure all the devices on the same network would be a huge task. Having a no code needed, turnkey option that GoTAK offers makes equipping a department reasonable, affordable and possible. ATAK makes situational awareness and officer safety higher.
Defense Contractor
— A.K.We have acquired EUDs from GoTAK, which are currently deployed on a platoon level in a Tier 1 Special Forces unit of a European country. These devices have consistently demonstrated reliability and ease of use in the most demanding environments. GoTAK’s ability to deliver tailored solutions and seamless integrations has been instrumental in our field operations.

— Trevor BeebeSAR is a volunteer program with a very limited budget, we can’t all afford to buy our own GPS devices. GoTAK has enabled the whole team to possess tracking and information sharing with a few clicks!”
