Solutions to win: LITAVR interceptor drone gets auto-guidance system after upgrade, reaches speeds of up to 350 km/h
LITAVR's main feature is its Pixel Lock (Last Mile) automatic target-acquisition system. It allows the drone to independently track and attack a target in the final stage of flight.
Developers say the technology significantly simplifies the operator's work when intercepting fast aerial objects and increases the likelihood of a successful strike.
The drone also has its own navigation system, which allows it to operate without GPS, while radar integration is handled through the LARAG software.
After a target is detected, the operator locks it in the sight, at which point the Pixel Lock system automatically locks onto the object and begins tracking it.
During the final interception stage, the system independently adjusts the drone's flight path and guides it toward the target. The operator only needs to control the closing speed, while the onboard system performs the remaining actions.
If no target is detected or the mission is canceled, the drone can be switched to safe mode and returned to base.
Development of the interceptor drone began in the autumn of 2024. In 2025, the product passed testing and codification, after which serial production began.
LITAVR's maximum speed is 350 km/h, its operational range is 40 kilometers, and its maximum flight altitude reaches 9,000 meters. According to the Unmanned Systems Forces, one such drone flew more than 80 kilometers from its launch point.
The drone has daytime and thermal-imaging cameras, which the operator can switch between during flight depending on operating conditions.
F-Drones independently develops its software, electronics, engines, controllers, and flight controllers, gradually reducing its dependence on foreign components.
The company also said it will upgrade all previously delivered first-generation drones to the automatic target acquisition version free of charge. The drone's body is made using plastic casting, which provides greater durability and more stable characteristics during serial production.
Background
As Rubryka reported, Ukraine's new-generation interceptor drones can already autonomously destroy Russian Shahed-type attack drones. The technology has successfully passed combat tests in the Kharkiv region, and the Defense Ministry is working to scale up such solutions.
