Unmanned Defense Systems

What does effective kill-chain integration look like in practice?

This was the focus of today's presentation by our Co-Founder & CCO, Žilvinas Kvedaravičius at the Supply Security & Defence Expo Expo (SSD) 2026.

At UDS, we design and manufacture automated systems that integrate the DETECT (sensors), ENGAGE (effectors), and COMMAND (C2) phases into a complete ecosystem - from mission planning to target damage assessment.

• FORECASTER - our next-gen ISTAR platform for rapid deployment and extended missions.
• AVENGER 5 - an anti-tank loitering munition delivering precision and reach.
• SwarmC2 - a modular command & control system for coordinated UAV operations.

Visit us at Stand H5 tomorrow to learn more.

Tomorrow, we're heading to the Supply Security & Defence Expo (SSD) 2026 in Tallinn.

Visit us at stand H5 to learn more about our battle-tested unmanned systems, ISTAR capabilities, loitering munitions, and swarm solutions built for rapid battlefield readiness and seamless kill-chain integration.

🎤 You can also catch our Co-Founder & CCO, Žilvinas Kvedaravičius, speaking on "Kill-Chain Ecosystem Integration" on 10 June at 12:00.

See you there!

The latest Praeities žvalgas episode, filmed in Kramatorsk, Ukraine, features the UDS Forecaster and offers a glimpse into life and operations just 20 km from the front line.

The episode explores drone technology, communication systems, logistics, and the challenges of working in an active combat zone. It also captures a tense moment when a Shahed drone appears overhead during a reconnaissance mission.

Check it out (in Lithuanian):

Not every day your investor steps onto the pitch stage for you.

At Deep Tech Investor Day 2026 in Helsinki, Viktorija Trimbel took the stage and pitched Unmanned Defense Systems on our behalf. 🚀

We often talk about finding investors who believe in your company.

Finding investors who volunteer to do the pitching? That's a different level of support.

Thank you, Viktorija, for taking the stage and sharing our story.

We're grateful to have investors who not only believe in what we're building, but also help make it happen.

The Unmanned Defense Systems team is on the ground in Odense, Denmark, for the International Drone Show 2026.

Tomorrow, 4 June, from 10:30 to 10:55, UDS and RSI Europe will demonstrate a full kill chain scenario at HCA Airport, showcasing the interoperability of multiple drone systems and integrated operational capabilities.

If you're attending the event, check out the demonstration and visit us at Booth 144 to discuss battle-tested systems that enable rapid battlefield readiness and seamless integration across the entire kill chain, including:
• Loitering munitions
• ISTAR platforms
• Swarm C2 solutions

3–4 June 2026

Last Saturday, UDS CEO and Co-Founder Vytenis Buzas participated in discussions at the NATO Parliamentary Assembly Science and Technology Committee, joining leaders from government, industry, and academia to explore the future of defense innovation.

One thing is becoming increasingly clear: in today's environment, success is defined not only by ideas, but by the speed at which they can be tested, deployed, and scaled.

Lithuania continues to demonstrate that agility, engineering talent, and close cooperation between government, industry, and academia can create an outsized impact. As security challenges evolve, the ability to rapidly turn innovation into operational capability becomes a critical advantage.

We thank the Minister of the Economy and Innovation of the Republic of Lithuania, Edvinas Grikšas, for the invitation and valuable insights, and all participants for a thought-provoking discussion.

Meet the UDS team today at , Latvia, in the Lithuanian pavilion.

Žilvinas Kv and Gytis are here to talk about battle-tested loitering munitions, ISTAR platforms, and swarm C2 solutions built for rapid battlefield readiness and seamless kill-chain integration.

Come say hello.

Good discussions this week at Deep Tech Momentum 2026 Berlin around what comes after the prototype phase in European defence tech.

At Unmanned Defense Systems, we are now fully focused on scaling - industrialization, production readiness, supply chains, and deployment of integrated ISTAR, effectors, and autonomous systems for real operational environments.

The next chapter for European defence tech is not only innovation, but the ability to manufacture, integrate, and deliver at scale.

Busy week ahead - and one of the highlights is seeing Unmanned Defense Systems included in The Venturist’s list of “The 60 Companies Shaping Europe’s Defence Future” (link in the comments).

Proud to stand alongside many strong European defense tech innovators building the next generation of capabilities for and allied nations.

At UDS, we are now moving deeper into the industrialization phase - scaling modular ISTAR and autonomous systems designed for real battlefield conditions:
• FORECASTER
• AVENGER 5
• SwarmC2
• Full Kill Chain integration

Thanks to our team, partners, operators, and customers for the trust.

And see you in this week at .

We’re proud to share that Unmanned Defense Systems has been selected for the hashtag Pitch Competition at Deep Tech Momentum 2026.

Out of more than 5,000 applicants, only 100 startups were selected to pitch across Europe’s leading deep tech sectors, including Defence, Space, Energy, and AI.

At hashtag , we will present our approach to the full kill chain - from ISTAR and battlefield awareness to autonomous effectors and integrated command & control through SwarmC2.

We are honoured to stand alongside some of the most competitive deep tech and defence platforms in hashtag and contribute to the next generation of autonomous defence capabilities.

See you on May 20–21.
