Description
Unmanned Aerial Systems, Battle-tested in Ukraine
Granta Autonomy is a Lithuanian defence engineering company specializing in the development of autonomous unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) and critical components for ISTAR, search and rescue, C-UAS and loitering munition missions. The systems have been operating in Ukraine since 2022.
Portfolio highlights include:
Hornet XR – a fully autonomous, hand-launched mini-UAV designed for covert reconnaissance operations. Capable of up to three hours of silent flight, it operates reliably under radio jamming or in complete radio silence.
X-WING – a hybrid VTOL loitering munition with a range of up to 50 km. It functions as a "shooter" alongside the Hornet XR's "sensor", utilizing AI-enabled autonomy even without GNSS/GPS availability.
BLACK WASP - C-UAS (in development) Interceptor VTOL launched drone with a range of +20 km and payload weight of 300-500 g aimed at destroying UAVs such as Shahed, Geran, Lancet and reconnaissance drones. Rapid deployment, short training course, and proven results on the front line
Hornet DDL and GS-214X / GS-218X micro gimbals – lightweight, high-performance solutions optimized for demanding environments and advanced ISTAR tasks.
Key achievements:
• Recipient of the Product of the Year 2024 (Hornet XR) and Innovation of the Year 2025 (X-WING) awards by the Lithuanian Defence and Security Industry Association.
• Significant growth since 2024, with production capacity and team size having tripled.
• Taking part in EDF consortiums and awarded the SME grant in 2024 (COP-GPT).
Granta Autonomy exemplifies Lithuania’s ability to deliver combat-proven, autonomous defence solutions appreciated by international partners.
Granta Autonomy is active in live demonstrations and testing:
Live demonstrations featuring the Hornet XR reconnaissance UAV identifying a ground target and transmitting live video and coordinates to the operator, followed by deployment of the X-WING loitering munition UAV to engage and simulate destruction of the target. This demonstration aims to showcase integrated system interoperability, cross-platform synergy, and synchronized operational effects, with emphasis on ISR and loitering munition capabilities within sensor-to-shooter workflows.
