170-220 MHz EW module for electronic warfare systems
- Frequency range: 170–220 MHz
EW modules are interchangeable radio-frequency units designed to generate jamming signals within a specified frequency range. They are used as part of electronic warfare (EW) systems to suppress control channels, telemetry, and data transmission links of unmanned systems and communication equipment.
A line of interchangeable modules designed to generate jamming signals across different frequency ranges and integrate into EW systems.
The choice of a module depends on the required frequency range, the EW platform format, and the operating conditions.
For effective EW system operation, it is important to have interchangeable modules for specific frequency bands. They enable to:
The module generates a jamming signal within a specified frequency range and transmits it to the EW system antenna, creating a suppression field that reduces the effectiveness of enemy control, telemetry, and data transmission.

An EW module is a replaceable radio-frequency unit used in electronic warfare systems that generates a jamming signal within a specified frequency range. Such modules are used in mobile or stationary EW systems to disrupt control channels, telemetry, and data transmission. The modular design allows the system to be adapted to different threat types and frequency bands.
BlueBird Tech EW modules operate within the frequency range of 170 to 1050 MHz, depending on the specific model. The product line includes modules for low-, mid-, and high-frequency bands, allowing the system configuration to be tailored to specific operational requirements. Depending on the scenario, individual or combined frequency modules may be used.
The output power of most EW modules is at least 50 W, while in some versions it can reach up to 60 W. The power level depends on the specific frequency range and system configuration. For stable operation, the modules are equipped with high VSWR protection with automatic power reduction in case of overload.
An EW module generates a jamming signal within a specified operating frequency band and transmits it through an antenna into the suppression system. This signal creates an electromagnetic interference field that reduces the effectiveness of control and data transmission channels. For stable performance, each EW module undergoes individual tuning and parameter verification using measuring equipment.
BlueBird Tech EW modules are compatible with both mobile and stationary EW platforms by BlueBird Tech without requiring changes to the system’s structure. Integration depends on support for the appropriate frequency range, power supply, and antenna-feeder system. The modular design also simplifies scaling, maintenance, and replacement of individual system components.
When selecting an EW module, it is important to consider the operating frequency range, the type of EW platform, and the nature of the threat. For systems with multiple suppression channels, modules from different frequency bands may be used. Other key factors include output power, compatibility with the power supply system, and the ability to quickly replace modules in field conditions.
Yes, EW modules have a modular design and can be serviced independently without replacing the entire system. Some models support repairing or temporarily replacing a module without compromising compatibility with the platform. This allows the system to be quickly adapted to new frequency ranges or restored to operational condition in field environments.
EW modules are used in mobile and stationary systems to generate electronic suppression within specific frequency bands. Such solutions are employed by military units, UAV operators, and communication units to enhance protection against control and data transmission channels. The modular architecture allows the system configuration to be quickly adjusted according to the operational situation.
The main difference between EW modules lies in their operating frequency range. For example, the 170–220 MHz module operates in the lower part of the spectrum, while the 400–500 MHz and 930–1050 MHz modules are designed to generate interference in higher frequency bands. The choice of module depends on the frequencies that need to be covered in a specific EW system configuration.
The number of EW modules depends on the platform’s design and the required number of operating frequency bands. Modular systems can use multiple frequency units simultaneously to cover a wider spectrum. This approach allows the system to be adapted to different operational scenarios without replacing the entire setup.
Yes, EW modules are designed to operate together within a single platform. For example, a system can simultaneously use modules operating in the 300–400 MHz, 600–700 MHz, and 830–930 MHz ranges to cover multiple frequency bands. Combining modules allows for more flexible configurations depending on operational requirements.
In the BlueBird Tech lineup, the 220–300 MHz, 300–400 MHz, and 830–930 MHz modules have the widest operating bandwidth, covering up to 100 MHz of spectrum. The bandwidth determines the range of frequencies in which the interference signal is generated. The selection of a specific module depends not only on bandwidth but also on the system’s required operating frequencies.
Ukrainian-made EW modules can be purchased through official BlueBird Tech channels. The catalog includes modules covering frequency ranges from 170–220 MHz to 930–1050 MHz, each with different operating bandwidths and suitable for building or upgrading EW systems. When selecting a module, it is important to consider the required frequency range and compatibility with the platform.
The key difference is the original generator, which creates a dense and uniform interference with a variable dust shape.
Tests have confirmed the high efficiency of the generators, in particular, against frequency hopping control devices.
Each module is individually configured and shows consistently high performance.
