Ukraine and Denmark developing AI-powered drone interceptor, media says

Terma specializes in ground and maritime radar systems, including those designed to detect drones, as well as advanced avionics. The company also supplies more than 80 critical components for the F-35, including fuselage parts, pylons, and radar electronics.

The Ukrainian statement highlights Terma's experience as a system integrator and its extensive experience with various types of sensors.

Although Odd Systems has not disclosed specific details of the project, Terma said it will provide advanced sensor technologies and situational awareness systems for Odd Systems' battle-tested unmanned platforms. Terma added that "this cooperation combines the best of Western defense engineering with Ukrainian military innovation."

The companies aim to develop a reliable drone interception system capable of identifying, tracking, and autonomously neutralizing a wide range of air threats, from FPV drones and Mavic-type quadcopters to reconnaissance and long-range UAVs.

It is too early to speculate on the final design of the anti-drone system. However, the term system implies a solution that integrates detection and elimination capabilities.

Development of interceptor drones in Ukraine

Recently, First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Digital Transformation Mykhailo Fedorov announced that Ukraine is actively working on the production of interceptor drones and already has the first results.

"This topic has been successfully hacked by Ukraine in a positive sense, and we’re already seeing the first results," Fedorov said.

On July 13, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that Ukrainian soldiers would continue to use interceptor drones to destroy Shaheds. Hundreds of Russian targets were shot down in just one week.
