Anduril Pulsar is a family of software-defined electromagnetic warfare systems intended to detect, classify and counter changing radio-frequency threats across fixed-site, vehicle, airborne and portable configurations.
Russia's answer to Starlink is not a jammer. Kalinka listens for the uplink a terminal sends to the satellite and works out where the operator is sitting — turning a communications link into a targeting cue.
Bureau 1440's first Rassvet formation can support hour-long links over Ukraine twice a day, according to Militarnyi, but terminals and launch cadence will decide its combat value.
D-Fend's EnforceAir is an Israeli counter-drone system that detects a rogue drone's radio protocol, takes over its control link and lands it at a predefined safe spot - no jamming, no shooting. Motorola Solutions agreed in June 2026 to buy D-Fend for $1.5 billion.
Volna Kupol Garant ("Wave Dome Guarantor") is Russia's trailer-mounted electronic-warfare complex built to jam Starlink's Ku-band uplink, denying Ukraine's Starlink-guided strike drones their control link across a roughly 20-square-kilometer bubble.

Pole-21 is Russia's distributed R-340RP GNSS-jamming network, built to mount on cell towers and deny GPS, GLONASS, Galileo and BeiDou navigation over protected areas.
Shipovnik-Aero is a Russian truck-mounted electronic-warfare complex built to detect, jam, spoof and reportedly hijack small UAVs, with wider communications-suppression functions.
Scorpius is IAI/Elta's AESA-based electronic-warfare family, using software-defined multi-beam jamming for ground, naval, airborne self-protection, standoff-jamming and training roles.
KORAL is Aselsan's truck-mobile radar electronic-warfare system, pairing electronic support and electronic attack vehicles to detect, classify, jam and deceive hostile radars at stand-off range.
Divnomorye is a highly secretive Russian ground-based electronic-warfare complex, reported as a strategic successor to Moskva-1 and Krasukha systems with radar- and satellite-jamming roles.
Tobol is Russia's secretive 14Ts227 ground-based space-electronic-warfare system, publicly documented as a satellite-protection complex and reportedly tested against Starlink links in Ukraine.
The Finnish startup is doubling output to feed European military demand for all-weather radar imagery, the same data Ukraine uses for strike planning and that Russia is now chasing in orbit.
Ukraine's home-grown drone-killer EW — a Proximus-built system that passively detects UAVs out to ~100 km, then jams their control links and satellite navigation (GPS/GLONASS/Galileo/BeiDou) inside ~20 km. Built specifically to counter Russia's Orlan-10, and now a Ukrainian export.
Russia's flying cell-tower attacker — a command truck plus Orlan-10 drones carrying a payload that mimics a GSM base station to locate phones, jam cellular networks and blast fake SMS at enemy troops and civilians. Electronic warfare and psychological warfare in one airborne package.
Russia's mobile laser — unveiled in Putin's 2018 "super-weapons" speech, named for a warrior-monk — built to dazzle reconnaissance-satellite sensors and hide mobile ICBMs from orbit. Fielded since 2019, but almost everything about it is a Russian claim experts treat with caution.
Russia's tracked tactical jamming complex — nine MT-LB vehicles that fuse four jamming-station types under one console to detect, locate and suppress enemy radio, GSM, satellite comms and GPS. A constant Ukraine-front presence, and a prized target: captured in 2022, hunted by FPV drones since.
Russia's strategic shortwave jammer — a truck-borne complex with 32-metre antenna masts built to detect and suppress NATO's long-haul HF radio at ranges Russian sources claim reach 5,000–8,000 km. Fielded in Kaliningrad, Crimea and the Arctic; reportedly sold to Iran.
A Russian counter-battery system that finds enemy guns without a radar — it just listens and watches. Fusing sound, ground vibration and thermal flash, it fixes a firing position in seconds while emitting nothing, so it can't be detected or jammed like the radars it replaces.
The Pentagon's main launch and spy-satellite contractor took foreign, military-linked capital while private, a national-security and ownership question now surfacing through court records.
A secretive Russian ground system built to switch off communications satellites — jamming the relay birds that armies (and Ukraine) depend on. It is the counter to the transparent battlefield: if sensing is the new deterrent, this is the attempt to blind it. Ukraine drone-killed one in January 2026.
A Chinese firm sells radar-stealth "by the kilogram" — Star-Navi's XRAM-C spray-on radar-absorbing coating, off-the-shelf in 1/5/10 kg tubs. The claimed ~3 dB cut is modest, but commoditizing even a small signature reduction for cheap mass drones is the story.
The world's largest radar-satellite constellation — Finnish microsatellites that see through cloud, darkness and camouflage. It is Ukraine's crowdfunded "People's Satellite," feeding nearly 6,000 radar images to Ukrainian targeting cells — and now shadowed in orbit by Russia.
Ofek satellites generated the targets and AI electronic warfare "opened" Iran's skies for an 18,000-bomb campaign, and both just won Israel's 2026 Defense Prize as the primes behind them sell the next generation.
ICEYE closed a Series F worth over €1bn at a €10bn-plus valuation, a record European spacetech round, to scale the radar constellation Ukraine already uses to find Russian targets.
