Ukrainian defence technology company December1 has introduced DroneSensor Providence, a radio scanner that detects drone communication channels, intercepts live video from FPV drones and passes targeting data to electronic warfare units. It was presented at the Iron Halloween Party 2026 event.
Providence works between 600 and 8,500 MHz, and the maker claims it can detect drone signals at 30 km. It handles analog and digital video, including Walksnail, and the mesh networks used by Russian Geran-type drones, and can separate signals when several drones fly at once.
December1 says the system has been tested by combat units in the Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia and Sumy directions. International development director Ilya Kabachinsky said hundreds of units a month are being produced, and the company plans thousands a month in 2027.
