Inside a Ukrainian company making exploding unjammable drones built to beat Russia's electronic warfare
- Ukrainian company 3DTech produces explosive-packed drones for the country's military amidst the conflict with Russia.
- These drones are vital for the military to fend off invading forces and are part of Ukraine's growing weapons industry.
- Radio frequency connections used in drones are vulnerable to Russia's electronic signal-jamming tactics.
- Fiber-optic drones have emerged as a solution, providing resistance to jamming and higher-quality video transmissions.
- 3DTech expects to produce 1,200 FPV drones in March, with half being fiber-optic drones.
- The company's production involves assembly of carbon fiber frames, 3D printing of fiber-optic spools, and rigorous testing.
- Fiber-optic drones are tested with weights mimicking explosive payloads and are capable of traveling long distances with significant payloads.
- The drones are tested in realistic conditions outside Kyiv before being sent to Ukrainian soldiers on the front lines.
- 3DTech faces challenges in talent management and training personnel to work with the technology efficiently.
- Ukraine's defense industry heavily relies on companies like 3DTech to produce FPV drones as part of its military strategy.
