SYCH · Adaptive RF DefenseУкраїнська команда інженерів проти швидких FPV-загроз.
The technology environment is changing faster than ever before.
Сьогодні технологічне середовище змінюється швидше, ніж будь-коли раніше. Нові частоти, мультисигнальні системи, цифрові канали та доступні COTS-компоненти формують абсолютно новий рівень викликів.
Те, що ще вчора було експериментом, сьогодні вже використовується в реальних умовах. Діапазони постійно зміщуються, а цикл адаптації скорочується до тижнів або навіть днів.
New frequency bands, multi-signal systems, digital channels, and rapidly available COTS components are shaping an entirely new level of challenge.
What was an experiment yesterday is already in real-world use today. Bands keep shifting, systems grow more complex, and the adaptation cycle is shrinking to weeks — sometimes days.
The cost asymmetry must be inverted.
A $300 FPV drone forces a $30,000 response. That equation has to be inverted.
Доступність цивільних FPV-технологій створює нові асиметричні загрози, які потребують сучасних, гнучких та масштабованих рішень захисту.
Ключовим фактором сьогодні є не лише потужність системи, а швидкість реакції, адаптації та інтеграції нових технологій.
The availability of civilian FPV technology creates new asymmetric threats that demand modern, flexible, and scalable defensive solutions.
The decisive factor today is not just raw system power, but the speed at which it can react, adapt, and integrate new technology.
SYCH EW — an autonomous counter-FPV jamming complex.
Пристрій постійно сканує радіочастоти, на яких працюють FPV-дрони. Коли виявляє відеосигнал — вмикає власний передавач на тій самій частоті з вищою потужністю. Оператор дрона втрачає відеосигнал і не бачить куди летить дрон.
Розробка: Україна · Збірка: Україна · Компоненти: міжнародні.
The device continuously scans the RF bands FPV drones use. On detection of a video signal, it activates its own transmitter on the same channel at higher power. The drone operator loses target acquisition capability and can no longer guide the platform.
R&D: Ukraine · Assembly: Ukraine · Components: international supply chain.
Three stages. Zero operator tuning.
Designed for autonomous operation. Minimal operator interaction. No continuous manual tuning required.
Continuous RF sweep
Receivers continuously sweep the configured bands (3.3 GHz · 5.8 GHz, or single-band 1.2 / 3.3 / 5.8 GHz), measuring RSSI on every standard analog FPV video channel.
Auto-classify signal
An onboard algorithm distinguishes a stable analog FPV video carrier from background noise. A live RSSI histogram surfaces channel activity for operator visibility.
Targeted jamming
The complex activates its own VTX on the matching frequency at higher power. The hostile drone operator loses FPV situational awareness and can no longer steer the platform onto target.
One control board. A family of frequency modules.
Modularity is not a marketing slide — it is the architecture. A single core stays constant while the RF front-end ships in matched variants.
Long-range surveillance band
RushFPV 1.2G VTX class · single-band board · 9 channels · 1080–1360 MHz · 4W.
Recent-adoption band
RushFPV 3.3G or Thor T35 (3W, 35ch) · single-band · 3170–3470 MHz · 16–35 channels.
Dominant FPV band
AKK Alpha 10 / 25 W class · up to 80 channels (96 with Alpha 25) · 4990–5945 MHz.
Diversity (3.3 + 5.8)
Combined board · 120 × 120 mm, 110–150 g · simultaneous detection.
Dual-band configurations: 5.8 + 1.2 · 5.8 + 3.3 · 5.8 + 7.2 GHz. Tri-Band (triple-diversity): 1.2 + 3.3 + 5.8 GHz or 3.3 + 5.8 + 7.2 GHz — three independent receivers per configuration. New bands are added by swapping modules, not by redesigning the platform.
We publish what SYCH EW does. And what it does not.
Our public knowledge base is engineer-to-engineer. Scope and limits are stated openly — because in this domain, surprises cost lives.
Designed for
- Analog FPV video carriers, 1.2 / 3.3 / 5.8 / 7.2 GHz bands
- Counter-zenith FPV defending bombers, recon wings, larger UAS
- Standard VTX channel tables (verified before deployment)
- Autonomous detection without operator channel-tuning
Out of scope
- Digital systems (DJI, Autel) — signal is too wide
- Mesh-network FPV — not natively supported
- 868 / 915 MHz control / telemetry channels
- Ground-robotics roles and low-radio-horizon positions
In active development: multi-signal jamming within a single band (simultaneous multi-carrier suppression) and countermeasures against frequency-swap evasion techniques.
Front-line feedback in days, not quarters.
The development cycle runs at operational tempo.
Deploy
Unit shipped to front-line operators.
Feedback
Operational data and field reports received.
Iterate
RF / firmware / filtering changes implemented.
Re-deploy
Updated revision back in field testing.
Major rev
Architecture-level changes shipped.
This speed is possible because the platform is built around modular RF architecture, rapidly replaceable components, simplified assembly, and firmware-first iteration.
Changes are not limited to software. RF front-ends, filtering, power stages, and supported frequency ranges can all be adjusted between production batches as threat behavior evolves.
Five bets we are placing — deliberately.
- швидку адаптацію до нових RF-викликів,
- модульну архітектуру,
- підтримку нових діапазонів та сценаріїв,
- інтеграцію в існуючі платформи,
- та створення доступних рішень, які можна швидко масштабувати.
- rapid adaptation to new RF challenges,
- modular architecture,
- support for new bands and operational scenarios,
- integration into existing platforms,
- and accessible solutions that scale quickly.
«Accessible» is a price, a form factor, and a license.
Licensed Local Production
PCB designs available to qualified allied forces for sovereign manufacturing capability on 1.2 / 3.3 / 7.2 GHz. Partner units can build locally without waiting on the production queue.
3D-printable enclosures
No fixed housing is shipped. STL files in the public instruction. Units adapt cases to their platform — airframe, fixed position, or vehicle — without our involvement.
Field-affordable kit
Full dual-band kit (board + 2× VTX): ~UAH 26 000 (~€600). Single-band boards from UAH 5 000. Designed to be attritable, not precious.
Hot-swap warranty (6 months): on failure, a replacement unit is shipped immediately so the front-line position is never offline.
The knowledge base learns from the field, not from a brochure.
Real customer conversations, real instruction manuals, real voice messages — parsed into structured knowledge and surfaced via a Ukrainian-language AI support agent.
PDFs (product manuals, datasheets, certificates), voice messages transcribed in Ukrainian, and the team’s curated free-text knowledge base feed a single pipeline. The result is an AI agent on Telegram that auto-classifies every reply and escalates to a human operator the moment confidence drops below 0.5.
