Abstract. In the modern era, the high efficiency of using various types of drones in conducting aerial reconnaissance of territories, correcting artillery fire, destroying armored vehicles and personnel, as well as executing numerous combat missions, must be taken into account. The direct destruction of drones through fire and their complete neutralization without causing any damage to them using electronic warfare (EW) means are of particular importance. As we know, since it is not possible to fully protect unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) from the effects of EW (Electronic Warfare) means, in wartime conditions, anti-drone weapons such as guns, mobile laser devices, and other weapons are practically used to disable FPV drones. The simplest method to avoid these effects is changing the control frequency of the drone, which makes it impossible for EW systems to affect the drone. It should be noted that since this method provides only temporary protection, work should be carried out to develop EW devices capable of monitoring and effectively jamming non-typical frequencies.
