CoVar demonstrated its BullsEye counter-drone capability at the US Army’s Warden 2026 demonstration, detecting, tracking, and localizing unmanned aircraft using the Android devices the Army already fields, said the company in a press release. Over the two-week event, BullsEye detected, tracked, and localized sUAS threats from a single device and also from networked teams of devices, feeding target data straight into ATAK. CoVar participated in the detection portion of the mission, relying only on passive sensing using the Android’s built in RGB cameras.
“BullsEye successfully detected, tracked, and localized drones throughout the Warden demonstration,” said the company. “BullsEye turns commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) Android devices, and military-hardened versions like Nett Warrior, into multi-function sensing and communications payloads. It runs on the hardware already inside the device: the camera, microphone, IMU, onboard compute, and communications stack. There is no bespoke AI/ML box to buy, integrate, sustain, or carry and BullsEye is configurable to any mission requiring target recognition.
“At Warden, CoVar showed that BullsEye could operate as a standalone system or as a network of collaborative devices. A single device gives an operator relative bearing and track on a drone, shown directly on the handset or in ATAK. Networked devices triangulate to fix absolute geolocation and push those positions into ATAK, so a collection of devices can feed a common operating picture of current threats.”
