# Ukraine-Based CODE380 Develops Counter-UAS Receiver

On November 2, 2026, Defense News and TechCrunch reported that Kyiv-based CODE380 developed the D·Vision software-defined radio receiver, a portable device that intercepts live video from some Russian drones using unsecured analog transmissions. The reports cite detection ranges of up to 10 kilometers on some frequencies, including frequencies used by newer Molniya drones. No solicitation, purchasing agency, contract value, or procurement contact was identified, so this is a technology and market signal rather than an announced buying opportunity.

- For counter-UAS acquisition planning, the reported capability may be relevant to requirements for portable, passive sensing of analog drone video feeds.
- The device’s stated limits matter to requirements development: it may not be effective against digital or fiber-optic links, or autonomous drones that do not emit signals.
- Contractors assessing this market should distinguish this analog-video interception capability from broader detection or defeat systems; the reports do not establish a procurement path or verified government demand.
