Max speed | 340 km/h |
Operational radius | 30 km |
Operational altitude | 5 km |
Launch | Fully autonomous pneumatic |
Terminal guidance | AI-based optical detection and tracking |
Data link | FHSS, military-grade |
Technology
90%+ autonomous Shahed interception
no pilot involvement
Battlefield-proven in Kharkiv region
$1M pre-seed round closed
TRL-8
production-ready
