The Ukrainian company First Contact, in cooperation with the German firm GSMK and with the support of the German government under the "Ramstein format," has delivered the first batch of FC.K tactical mobile electronic warfare systems to the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The systems successfully passed NATO codification and certification, confirming compliance with international standards.
As part of the initial delivery, 30 systems have already been handed over to the Ukrainian military. They are approved for operation and integrated into units to counter enemy UAVs. Early testing in combat conditions demonstrated their high effectiveness, Defense Express reports, citing First Contact.

FC.K is a tactical mobile complex designed to detect and jam drone control channels as well as video and telemetry links between UAVs and their operators.
The system is mounted on the Kozak armored vehicle produced by Practika Research and Production Association. This vehicle-based deployment enables operation in high-risk zones while protecting the crew from FPV drones and other threats. The complex supports remote operation, allowing tasks to be carried out without the operator being near the antenna.
FC.K features multiple jamming modes, a modern control system, and advanced software with cryptographic information protection. A key capability is its function for detecting, analyzing, and locating cellular network base stations — a technology developed by GSMK, a global leader in crypto security.
"This project is the result of long-term engineering and international cooperation. We are grateful to our partners from GSMK and the German government for their support. FC.K is about protection, mobility, and technological superiority," said Valerii Borovyk, founder of First Contact and a military serviceman.
The company added that it continues to expand production and integration of electronic warfare systems in cooperation with the Ukrainian military and international partners. According to First Contact, this marks another step toward building a nationwide defense ecosystem against drones.
Earlier, Defense Express reported on another addition to Ukraine's electronic warfare arsenal, the Veres-2 jammer specialized against enemy bomber drones.
