Ukrainian defense tech developers from Brave1 innovation cluster have introduced a new electronic warfare system designed to counter russian-operated Mavic drones. The unit, called Algiz AM, is already in use on the front lines and aims to disrupt the growing threat posed by commercial drones repurposed for military reconnaissance and attack.
The Algiz AM system is specifically tuned to interfere with the control and navigation signals of the Mavic-type UAVs. Its key function is to jam drone operations within its effective range. The system is remotely controlled, allowing operators to stay in covered positions while using it, which is particularly important in exposed combat areas.

One of the notable technical features of the Algiz AM system is its rotating antenna, which enables 360-degree coverage. This allows the device to react to drones approaching from various directions without the need to reposition the system physically, improving its efficiency in dynamic field conditions.
The system is installed on a mobile platform, which simplifies deployment and movement in field conditions. It can be quickly transported and set up by small teams, making it suitable for use by mobile infantry units or temporary positions near the front.
Remote control is a key element of the system's usability. It means personnel can operate the jammer while remaining in shelter, reducing the risks associated with being close to active equipment in open terrain or contested areas.
Brave1 not only supported the technical development of the Algiz AM system but also assisted the team in passing the codification process, enabling the system to be formally adopted and distributed among Ukraine's defense units. This coordination helps shorten the time between development and deployment.
According to the developers, further updates are planned based on feedback from the military. Field testing and operational use continue to inform refinements, with the goal of improving the system's effectiveness and adapting it to emerging drone threats.
As Defense Express previously reported, the Ukrainian military continues to benefit from cutting-edge technology developed domestically, as the Ardal robotic system demonstrates its life-saving potential on the front lines. Recently, the K-2 unit shared exclusive footage showing a highly complex evacuation operation where the Ardal unmanned ground system played a crucial role in safely extracting a wounded soldier from a hazardous combat zone.
