Ukrainian military-tech company BlueBird Drones has created the video signal detector «Chuyka 3.0», which is already in service with the Defense Forces.
This electronic intelligence tool intercepts an analog video signal from the FPV drone to the operator — the user can see the drone operator’s screen directly on the device and react.
«The main target is FPV drones, but it is possible to intercept the signal of enemy NRCs and long-range strike UAVs of the „Molniya“ type, provided that the analog signal is present,» the Brave1 cluster said in a statement.
The detector operates at a range of up to 4 km. When a drone with an analog video signal flies into the «Chuyka» range, it notifies the user with an audible signal that gradually increases as the drone approaches.
«The device’s screen displays signal sources (up to three at the same time) and their frequencies. The fighter can switch channels to display the intercepted video on the screen and find out whether it is a Ukrainian or Russian drone, and its route. The interface is simple and intuitive,» Brave1 added.
«Chuyka 3.0» scans video signals at a speed of 4 to 8 seconds, and the software allows you to intercept even encoded signals. It is claimed that the manufacturer is constantly updating and improving the software, based on real feedback from the battlefield.
Already 23 customers have purchased such detectors through Brave1 Market.
Currently, this device already operates in three key bands, covering up to 95% of the most common FPV drone frequencies. The plans for this year include the development of an even more powerful version of Chuyka 4.0, network interaction, and integration with electronic warfare systems.
