We sincerely congratulate the students of the Faculty of Electronics of National Technical University of Ukraine "Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute" with a prize place in the Jammer Hackathon! The event united Ukrainian developers in the creation of radio-electronic solutions for combating enemy drones.
The Phantom Defense team consists of:
- Denis Vasyutyak (DS-41mp),
- Dmytro Alifonov (DP-41mn),
- Nikita Krupnyk (DS-41mn),
- Oleksiy Kryvets (DP-31mn)
And took 3rd place with the development of an algorithm for detecting and suppressing control and video communication channels of UAVs.
At the hackathon, more than 70 participants, united in 25+ teams, searched for solutions in the following areas for three days:
- blocking or interfering with the operation of the most used commercial drones by the enemy (in particular, Dji Mavic 3, Autel 4T) due to cyber influence, influence on control protocols and UAV components;
- automation of detection of FPV and anonymized commercial drones, determination of their direction of movement and automatic tracking.
Phantom Defense received an award of $7,000 to further develop the project and the opportunity to compete for an additional $50,000 in prize money.
The event was organized by the defense-tech cluster Brave1 and the investment fund D3.
We wish our winners new achievements and successful implementation of ideas!
