Ukrainian firm develops pocket-sized drone video receiver

A Ukrainian company, CODE380, has developed a compact software-defined radio (SDR) called the D·Vision SDR, capable of intercepting analog video feeds from Russian strike drones up to six miles away. This device, weighing only 10 ounces, aims to help Ukrainian forces locate and counter Russian drones by providing visual intelligence. While effective against current analog transmissions, its utility may diminish if Russia transitions to digital signals, and it is also ineffective against fiber optic drones. AI
