A Ukrainian defense technology company participating in the Brave1 innovation cluster has developed a new drone interception system capable of automating 95% of the process of destroying Shahed-type attack drones, according to Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov, UATV English <\/a>reports.<\/p>\n

Announcing the development on Telegram, Fedorov said the technology had already undergone successful combat testing in the Kharkiv region and is now being scaled up for broader operational use.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe continue to systematically strengthen the protection of our skies. A Brave1 participant has created a technology that automates 95% of the interception process \u2014 from launching the interceptor drone to destroying a Shahed target. The system has successfully proven itself in combat conditions in the Kharkiv region,\u201d Fedorov said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

According to the minister, the operator remains involved in the engagement process but only at key decision-making stages. The system allows operators to monitor targets in real time, select an incoming drone, and authorize engagement.<\/p>\n

Once approval is given, the interceptor performs the remaining tasks autonomously. The system independently navigates toward the target, identifies it, and carries out the final interception without further operator input.<\/p>\n

Fedorov noted that with support from the Brave1 defense technology cluster, the developer was able to move from the prototype stage to successful battlefield deployment in less than a year.<\/p>\n

He emphasized that increasing autonomy is becoming one of the most important directions in the development of modern air defense capabilities.<\/p>\n

According to the minister, technologies of this kind significantly improve Ukraine\u2019s ability to respond to large-scale aerial attacks, reduce the workload on operators, and increase the effectiveness of defending cities and critical infrastructure against Russian drone strikes.<\/p>\n

Fedorov added that the Ministry of Defense is actively expanding the use of technologies that have already demonstrated effectiveness under combat conditions.<\/p>\n

The announcement comes as Ukraine continues to invest heavily in domestic defense innovation and unmanned systems to counter Russia\u2019s growing use of Shahed-type attack drones.<\/p>\n

Earlier, Ukrainian officials reported that the number of successful strikes against Russian targets located more than 50 kilometers behind the front line had doubled as part of broader efforts to enhance battlefield effectiveness through advanced technologies and unmanned systems.<\/p>\n
