The Ukrainian servicemen receive new portable AD Counter FPV jamming stations.
These stations are manufactured by the Ukrainian defense company, Kvertus Technology.
Volunteers who purchased the stations for the military said that one AD Counter FPV costs UAH 90,000.
“Finally, this quest has reached its final stage, and the counter-FPV jamming stations (2 units for UAH 180,000) have been delivered to the soldiers in the Zaporizhzhia sector,” the volunteers said.
The portable counter-FPV jamming station is designed to interfere with unmanned aerial vehicles.

The station is claimed to effectively jam the 850–940 MHz frequency bands commonly used by FPV drones.
The small portable station weighs 5 kg, has a 360° airborne radiation pattern, and has a UAV jamming range of up to 150 meters.
The time required for efficient operation of the device after switching it on doesn’t exceed 0.5 seconds.

With a small footprint, the station maintains maximum RF emission levels within established standards to minimize interference with other stations.
The new Ukrainian development was recently presented in Egypt at EDEX-2023.
Besides, there is also the ‘AD Counter FPV Backpack’ version by Kvertus, which is designed to be worn as a backpack for the convenience of the military. It comes with a removable rechargeable battery that provides up to two hours of battery life, making it suitable for military operations that require high mobility.

A very nice development by Ukraine. I hope this will be effective as intended. It could save many lives and lots of equipment.
