La guerra de Ucrania se ha convertido en un campo de pruebas para los drones con cables de fibra óptica que no son susceptibles de sistemas de interferencia, y la tecnología podría cambiar las medidas de seguridad en todo el mundo.

Russian forces have invaded Ukraine from land, air and sea with strikes causing widespread damage. Global leaders have condemned the move and imposed sanctions.

Ukraine Invasion

The ongoing conflict in Ukraine has provided a unique environment for testing new drone technology that is resistant to traditional jamming systems. Ukrainian military personnel, identified only by their call signs, have been deploying these drones at Russian targets, showcasing a model that some consider revolutionary. Notable among the new technologies is a fiber-optic cable drone, which trails a cable to the base station, thus maintaining an uninterrupted signal and bypassing all jamming efforts.

Both Ukraine and Russia have employed small, affordable drones in their strategies, but traditional models are vulnerable to jammers that disturb radio communication. The cable drones, however, maintain connectivity through the physical fiber-optic connection, making them immune to such disruptions. These drones also have the capability to carry munitions like grenades, adding to their tactical advantage. Vlad, a drone designer identified only by his first name, demonstrated how these drones are engineered for extended flight distances, with fiber-optic cables unwinding seamlessly.

As the technology advances, the implications extend beyond the battlefield. Instances like the Super Bowl in the U.S., where concerns about rogue drones led to the preparation of jamming equipment, illustrate the limitations of conventional methods against cable drones. Shooting them down, often impractical in public spaces, is currently the most effective countermeasure. The development of these drones marks an evolution in warfare, with Ukraine serving as a significant experimental ground.

Estos soldados, que sólo se identificaban por sus indicativos militares ucranianos, han estado lanzando drones contra objetivos rusos durante gran parte de la guerra. Ahora están probando un nuevo modelo que algunos creen que podría cambiar las reglas del juego. Hasta ahora, con esta tecnología podemos eludir todos los sistemas de interferencia, dice un soldado que se hace llamar Krab. Si te fijas bien, detrás de un fino cable de fibra óptica, permanece unido a la estación base, dando una señal ininterrumpida. Ucrania y Rusia utilizan cada vez más las pequeñas, relativamente baratos para atacarse mutuamente. Pero los inhibidores de drones que interrumpen la comunicación por radio entre el dron y el operador pueden hacer que se desvíen de su rumbo. Los teledirigidos, que también pueden transportar municiones como granadas, son inmunes a ello. Dentro de esta planta de producción, Vlad, a quien sólo identificamos por su nombre de pila por razones de seguridad, muestra cómo está diseñando los drones para que vuelen más lejos. ¿Y así el cable se desenrolla? En el dron no tenemos ninguna señal que pueda ser escaneada por los rusos. Y la única forma segura de derribarlos es dispararles desde el cielo. Troismothers es un ex marine estadounidense que ha estado trabajando para ayudar a probar los drones. Pero a medida que la tecnología se desarrolle, tendrá implicaciones más amplias. El año pasado, las autoridades de EE.UU. temían que los drones pudieran atacar la Super Bowl, tenían equipos de interferencia en espera. Eso no funcionará con los drones de cable. Y dispararles desde el cielo no suele ser una opción en lugares públicos concurridos. No vas a volver a meter a este genio en la botella. Ya están buscando contramedidas eficaces para ir contra la fibra. Y es que, ya sabes, la guerra siempre ha evolucionado. Y eso es evidente en Ucrania, que se ha convertido en un campo de pruebas clave. Briar Stewart, CBC News, Kharkiv.
