About Unmanned Defense Systems
Unmanned Defense Systems develops an integrated detect-engage-command family for military uncrewed aviation. Forecaster is a sub-seven-kilogram ISTAR aircraft with modular electro-optical and infrared payloads, up to 270 minutes of endurance and a 60-kilometre radio line of sight. Hauler supports detection and surveillance, while Avenger 5 is a long-range loitering munition. Rugged tablets, modular ground stations and onboard GPU modules complete the field system.
SwarmC2 coordinates reconnaissance, target analysis and strike aircraft through self-healing mesh communications, collision avoidance and automatic retasking. A replacement vehicle can take over when another aircraft loses power or develops a fault, and one operator can manage multiple platforms. The software integrates with SitaWare HQ, ATAK and other battle-management systems, supports GNSS-denied navigation and is still being expanded with predictive targeting functions. UDS manufactures the family in Lithuania for defence users.
