Ukrainian IT workers have developed the Chameleon video encryption system for the military. What is it useful for and what is its secret
Ukrainian IT workers have developed the Chameleon system, designed to encrypt and decrypt an analog video signal in order to prevent its unauthorized viewing.

«My team and I have developed a new product to save the lives of our military, meet the Chameleon Video Encryption System! As you may know, analog video from drones is open source and anyone with a receiver can watch the same picture that the drone operator sees. When our take-off point is determined in this way, everything the enemy has flies there», — explains the need to develop this system Senior Project Manager at Kitrum and FPV volunteer Ivan Ovcharyk on LinkedIn.
According to him, when using this encryption system, no one will be able to «spy» on the picture, and it is suitable for drones, ground systems, repeaters, video surveillance and many other technical means.
The Carrier Electronics website, where you can order the system, explains that the encoder changes the video signal to make it unintelligible without a suitable decoder or ground station, and the encoder and ground station decode the signal to display it on an analog monitor.
The composition of the system includes:
encoder and decoder — boards in the form factor of 30×30×7.5 mm with the possibility of installation on the racks of the flight controller;
ground station — a decoder in a portable case with its own power source for operation from a 2-6S battery and convenient control buttons;
the configurator is an additional device for changing the encryption code.
Earlier, the Ministry of Statistics announced that they plan to increase the number of startups in Ukraine by 15 times.
In turn, the CEO of the defense startup with thermal imaging modules Oko Camera told dev.ua about the idea, development, money and difficulties in his work.
