SIGINT, Robotics & Drones Section

The fight for dominance on the battlefield moved beyond the trench lines a long time ago. Today, it takes place in the electromagnetic spectrum — quietly, invisibly, but with real consequences. Whoever controls the spectrum controls the battlefield.

Our section deals with what modern armies do in the electronic and robotic layer: Electronic Warfare is military activity involving the use of the electromagnetic spectrum — the goal is to maximize the ability of friendly forces to exploit it while at the same time disrupting and denying access to the opponent. On top of that, there are unmanned systems whose control links — SATCOM, Wi-Fi, 4G/5G, RF signals — are especially vulnerable to jamming, spoofing, and interception.

We learn how these systems work, how to attack them, and how to protect them. We analyze what is being transmitted in the air. We build and break drone communication protocols. We understand how monitoring the electromagnetic spectrum makes it possible to detect and locate the opponent’s communication networks, sensors, and electronic devices — providing critical intelligence about their actions and movements.

In practice, this means: an SDR in hand, an antenna on the roof, a TAK terminal on the screen, and the question — who is transmitting here and what are they trying to hide?

What do we do?

SIGINT & spectrum analysis — interception and analysis of radio emissions, protocol decoding, passive listening, COMINT and ELINT, work with RTL-SDR / HackRF / TinySA.

Electronic Warfare — jamming, GPS spoofing, disruption of command links, protection of our own systems against enemy EW, the fight for dominance in the spectrum.

C-UAS systems — the vast majority of commercial and modified drones rely on RF signals to maintain the link with the operator, transmit video telemetry, and receive GNSS/GPS navigation data. We learn how to detect, classify, and neutralize them. Advanced RF systems can identify the exact brand, model, and sometimes the unique serial number or MAC address of a drone.

Security of robotic systems — cybersecurity of UGV and UAV systems includes threats resulting from intentional disruption of communication frequencies, as well as the risk of unauthorized access and hostile takeover of control over vehicles.

Drone systems & ISR — building, integration, and operation of unmanned platforms for reconnaissance and kinetic actions. Work with drones, thermal cameras, night vision.

Communication — encrypted protocols, mesh networking, TAK/ATAK, redundant operational links in a jamming-heavy environment and beyond.

Who are we looking for?

We are looking for people who are not afraid of the electromagnetic spectrum — or are actually drawn to it:

You do not need certificates. It is enough that you understand that an antenna is not just a piece of wire.

What can you do after this section?

Competences in the area of SIGINT, EW, and unmanned systems are one of the fastest-growing markets in the defence and dual-use sector. You can work as:

SIGINT and drones are not only war — this is technology that is everywhere.

RF detection systems protect airports, stadiums, and critical infrastructure from unauthorized drones. Electromagnetic spectrum analysis lies at the foundation of telecommunications, IoT, and 5G networks. Drones inspect bridges, power lines, and pipelines instead of sending people there. Signal classification algorithms reach medicine, industry, and logistics. Security of robotic systems is one of the biggest problems of modern automation — from Amazon warehouses to autonomous vehicles.

If you want to understand technologies that will shape the next decades — both in uniform and without one — this is exactly the section.

The spectrum is waiting. Enter it.
