"A nonprofit organization based in the U.S. is supplying Ukrainian forces with advanced electronic warfare gear assembled from simple off-the-shelf components. The secret is a new technology known as Software Defined Radio (SDR) which can locate Russian radio emitters, from command centers to drone operators. Previously this sort of capability required expensive, high-grade military equipment."

..."The receivers are so small they can even be carried on drones. Signals intelligence is useful not just for locating individual transmitters, but can identify the position of units from their radio traffic, and spot movement as a headquarters deploy into an area.
While radio intercepts can determine location, the most important Russian military communications are encrypted, making them impossible to break into. That might change.
“We imagine SDRs could be used for a lot more interesting applications, for example intercepting transmissions for decryption on supercomputers. But they won’t tell us,” says Sklyarenko. “All we know is that these are in high demand, and we are happy to help sending them.”...
