01 / DIRECTIONS

What we do

We close the gap between the engineering solution and its place in the defense system - from prototype to series and contract.

/ 01

Development and integration

Branding and integration into existing customer complexes.

/ 02

Brand and licensing

Packaging know-how into protected licensing structures, intellectual property protection, building product brands.

/ 03

Commercialization

B2G and B2B access, procurement procedure support, codification, preparation for serial deliveries.

/ 04

Export and grants

Access to international funding programs, partnerships in the EU and NATO, entry of Ukrainian developments into foreign markets.

HEIMDALLCOMMUNICATION
Digital fiber-optic video channel for UAVs

Replaces analog video communication, which degrades over distance and is vulnerable to electronic warfare. Fiber optics are the only channel where electronic warfare does not work. Digital H.265 provides a stable image at ranges of 40–60 km and is ready for integration with AI target recognition systems. An optical signal level indicator allows the pilot to assess the approach to the target - analog systems do not have this ability.

  • CODECH.265
  • RESOLUTION1920×1280@30fps / 1280×720@60fps
  • RANGE40 km effective
  • OPTIONup to 60 km on request
  • WAVELENGTH1490 / 1550 nm
  • ENVIRONMENTfull immunity to EW
  • NIGHT OP.IR curtain from the remote control
  • AI-READYdigital signal for ML models
LYNXDETECTION
Portable FPV drone video signal detector

Detects the video signal of FPV drones on approach and gives an audible warning. Critical for civilians in front-line areas: minibus drivers, truckers, patrol officers - have time to leave the car. The unique whitelist/blacklist function filters "their" drones and shows only threats. Powered by field batteries via XT60 — no need for a power outlet or cigarette lighter.

  • BANDS1080–2200 / 3060–3700 / 5705–5945 MHz
  • SENSITIVITY−90 dBm
  • RANGEup to 4 km (directional antennas)
  • FILTERINGwhitelist / blacklist
  • SCREENS4.3" video + 1.3" OLED
  • POWER5000 mAh / XT60 3–6S
  • AUTOMANIA6 hours
  • WEIGHT / PROTECTION650 g / IP54 / −20…+50°C
  • DEPLOYMENT30 seconds
VORTEXCOMPONENT
Frameless fiber optic winding system

Standard fiber optic reels have a hidden problem: when transported to position, the upper turns get jammed between the lower ones due to friction, the fiber gets tangled or breaks - and the operator only finds out about it at the moment of start-up. VORTEX eliminates this problem: lay-out from the inside, zero friction, no speed restrictions from the reel. Mission success rate increases from 10–30% to 80%+.

  • TECHNOLOGYinside-out
  • CONSTRUCTIONframeless
  • FRICTIONzero — no contact with the frame
  • OBM. SPEEDNone — the coil does not slow down the UAV
  • TRANSPORTresistance to impacts during transportation
  • SUCCESS80%+ vs 10–30% standard
  • APPLICATIONfiber optic UAVs
