The Brave Cluster, a Ukrainian government-supported coordination platform promoting collaboration between technology defence industry stakeholders, has developed AD Counter FPV, an electronic warfare system that blocks radio waves used by Russian FPV drones.

Quote: "The system generates white noise in the 850-940 MHz radio frequency range, making FPV drones lose communication with operators and become uncontrollable. The system’s operating range is upwards of 250 metres if the distance between the drone and its operator is 3,000 metres. The system starts working quickly after switching on, taking no longer than 0.5 seconds to get up and running."
Details: Ukrainian soldiers have already been able to use the new electronic warfare system.
Fedorov added that they say AD Counter FPV is one of the most effective portable electronic warfare systems.
Quote: "One of this system’s advantages is that it’s light and weighs only 3 kg without its battery. It also has a tripod, so it’s easy to mount it on top of a vehicle.
At the request of the military, the developers have created a backpack version of AD Counter FPV. It is also being actively used by the military and has proven to be an indispensable item."
