Electronic warfare is focused on jamming the signals of attacking or reconnaissance drones by overloading their receiver with false frequencies, meaning they cannot reach their target.
Evolve Dynamics manufactures reconnaissance drones, which they supply to Ukrainian military units along with spare parts and software updates directly from the company, allowing them to make changes themselves where possible
The company is currently developing "alternative radio line algorithms" to bypass electronic warfare.

In February, Zelenskiy signed a decree creating a separate branch of the Ukrainian Armed Forces dedicated to drones, and in March, Digital Transformation Minister Mykhailo Fedorov said that seven Ukrainian vocational schools plan to launch drone training programs.
