Cheers to UK technology firm Evolve Dynamics for helping Ukraine modify its drones to thwart Russian jamming. 👍🏼

Ukraine has partially pushed back a Russian invasion and has sunk much of Russia's Black Sea Fleet – despite having almost no conventional navy. The country is disproportionately resourceful in addition to being highly motivated. But it still requires some help defending itself.

With Russia increasingly using jamming against Ukrainian drones, Evolve Dynamics is developing tech workarounds to beat Putin's jammers.

British engineers technologically modernize drones for Ukraine to make them more resistant to Russian electronic warfare. A British firm called Evolve Dynamics is working on upgrades that could counter Russia’s electronic warfare capabilities against Ukraine’s reconnaissance drones, Reuters reported on 28 March. “It’s a constant ping-pong game between adversaries,” said Mike Dewhirst, the company’s chief executive. By developing alternative radio link algorithms, Evolve Dynamics aims to make it harder for Russia to jam signals controlling Ukraine’s surveillance drones. Both sides have increasingly utilized electronic warfare systems designed to disrupt Russian drone communications frequencies. According to Dewhirst, there have been 85 upgrades to Evolve’s Sky Mantis drones over the last two-and-a-half years to stay ahead. The company directly supplies Ukrainian military units with parts and software to modify the drones when possible. “We’re adding technology to existing drones, modifying them. It might be a software change, a hardware change,” Dewhirst told Reuters. This is reportedly part of an international effort by Ukraine’s allies to support its drone program, which ‘Ukraine hopes will offset Russia’s larger resources.’ Currently, around 200 companies in Ukraine produce unmanned systems, with approximately 50 of them having already obtained permits from the Ministry of Defense and supplying various drones to the army.

Yep, Ukraine has about 200 companies making UAVs. This is a technologically advanced country which is not shy about innovating. After the war we could see it become the European equivalent of South Korea which rose from the ashes of the Korean War to become a leading economic power. And because of its proximity to the EU, it could make the transition to a powerful peacetime economy rather quickly.

Helping Ukraine is an investment which will pay off.

This is the second year for my backyard cup plant. It started as a giant mystery stalk which must have sprouted from a wildflower mix scattered a year or two earlier.

Cup plant (Silphium perfoliatum) is not native in Arizona, and can be invasive in some settings. But it likes steady water, so it seems to stay put in the flower bed and draw every bee, butterfly, and tiny creature from miles around.

This is all one large plant, which generated hundreds of flowers in July and August. I love it to distraction.

I enjoy Kabaton’s presence a whole lot but I’d like to see the other generals too! But since it looks like we won’t see them in the near future I decided to make one myself as we speak

You want to see an Underg Empire henchman? Be the change you want to see in the world and make one while we wait :D
