BlueBird Tech CHUYKA 3.0 FPV Drone Detector
This device is one of the best-known FPV drone detectors developed in Ukraine and is widely used and trusted by Ukrainian military personnel, making it one of the most recognized solutions in its class.
NATO Codified | Passive RF Recon Device | 3-Band Analog Video Signal Detection
CHUYKA 3.0 is a professional portable radio-electronic reconnaissance device designed to detect and intercept analog FPV drone video signals.
Developed by BlueBird Tech, this compact device performs passive RF scanning across multiple frequency bands to identify active FPV drone transmissions between the drone and its operator.
The system detects the presence of real analog video transmission rather than simple RF interference, significantly reducing false alarms and improving reliability in complex radio environments.
The device is NATO codified and engineered for rapid deployment and individual portable use.

Key Features
Passive Drone Detection
CHUYKA 3.0 operates in passive mode, scanning radio frequencies without transmitting signals. This allows discreet detection of FPV drones by identifying their video transmission.
Analog Video Signal Interception
The system can intercept and display analog FPV video signals transmitted from the drone camera to the pilot.
Triple-Band RF Scanning
The detector scans three major FPV frequency ranges commonly used by analog drone systems.
Full spectrum scan time: 4–8 seconds.
Supported ranges:
• 900 – 1800 MHz
• 2870 – 4080 MHz
• 4860 – 6060 MHz
These ranges cover common FPV frequencies:
• 1.2 GHz
• 3.3 GHz
• 5.8 GHz
Intelligent Signal Processing
Advanced algorithms automatically calibrate receiver sensitivity and filter non-video RF interference, minimizing false alerts.
Early Warning System
The device provides visual and audible alerts when potential drone signals appear within detection range, even before a stable video feed is received.

Monitoring & Control
Video Monitoring Mode
Allows fine frequency adjustment to improve intercepted video signal quality.
VRX Manual Mode
Manual channel selection for direct video monitoring.
Scrambled Video Support
Supports detection and viewing of inverted/scrambled analog video signals used in certain FPV systems.
⸻
Antenna System
The detector features SMA female connectors allowing connection of higher-gain antennas.
Users can install directional antennas for increased detection capability and improved signal localization.
