Fully autonomous UAV Hornet XR - for intelligence, surveillance, target acquisi- tion and reconnaissance missions. The newest addition to Granta Autonomy’s mini-UAV arsenal, the Hornet XR, takes co- vert reconnaissance to the next level. This innovative drone leverages experience and feedback from past models to deliver ex- ceptional performance: • The Hornet XR prioritizes portability and stealth. With a compact wingspan of 1.6 meters, a length of just 0.84 meters, and a lightweight design at 3.2 kilograms, it’s quickly launched by hand, eliminating the need for cumbersome support equipment; • Despite its size, the Hornet XR boasts impressive stamina, offering three hours of silent flight time thanks to its electric propulsion system. This silent operation makes it virtually undetectable, perfect for missions requiring absolute discretion. • The Hornet XR sets itself apart with its pre-programmed autonomous flight capa- bilities. This drone can execute complex missions flawlessly, even in environments with radio jamming or complete radio si- lence. Landing is equally effortless – the Hornet XR utilizes a deep-stall method for smooth recovery, even in confined spaces. Loitering munition aircraft X-Wing - for anti-armor and fragmentation (multi-pur- pose) warheads The X-WING combines the vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) of a quadcopter with the efficient, fixed-wing flight of an air- plane, giving it a range of up to 50 km. This design provides front-line units with a por- table, modular, and easy-to-deploy sys- tem for precision strike missions. Granta Autonomy developed the 12kg X-WING to meet the demand for loitering munitions that infantry units can deploy without spe-
cialized launch equipment. Designed to be a “shooter” to Granta’s “sensor” Hornet XR reconnaissance drone, the X-WING also uses artificial intelligence (AI) for autono- mous flight, even when GNSS or GPS sig- nals are unavailable or spoofed. Digital data link Hornet DDL - for contest- ed environments The Hornet DDL, which weighs less than 50g and consumes less than 10W during active transmission, can achieve a video transmission range of 10 km with an om- nidirectional antenna and 30+ km with a directional antenna. Granta’s Datalink solution ensures com- patibility with most ground control sta- tion software, and an AI-based targeting system can help guide the UAV to heavily camouflaged targets. Micro gimbals GS-214X and GS-218X - for ISTAR Granta Autonomy’s powerful but light- weight GS-214X and GS-218X micro gim- bal systems are the fourth generation of gimbal-mounted EO/IR payloads the busi- ness has designed from scratch: • Measuring 71 mm and weighing just 180g and 195g, respectively, these sensors fea- ture an EO camera with a zoom capabil- ity of ×40 (×20 optical and ×2 digital), a horizontal field of view of 60° to 3° (opti- cal), and 1.5° (digital), and a resolution of 1280×960 pixels. Both sensors feature a FLIR Boson+ 640 long-wave infrared sensor, which has a resolution of 640×512 pixels, with the GS- 214X using a 14 mm lens offering a hori- zontal field of view of 32° and the GS-218X using an 18 mm lens offering a horizontal field of view of 24°.

Granta Autonomy Granta Autonomy is an innovative and experienced engineering company with a focus on the development and production of unmanned aircraft sys- “ At the beginning of the Russia’s war against Ukraine in 2014, drones were used almost exclusively for reconnais- sance, but they were soon followed by grenade-throwers, the so-called ka- mikaze drones, drones carrying large payloads, and drones that can reach targets hundreds or even a thousand kilometres away. In the past, such re- sults could only be achieved with very expensive military equipment. Today, drones allow us to reach targets effi- ciently and use munitions more effec- tively.

siles ourselves in the near future, but we are already developing lasers, an- ti-drone devices and UAVs, and we are one of the leaders in the region. We are incredibly proud to partner with Rheinmetall Electronics, a company with a stellar reputation for excellence in defense technology. This partner- ship represents a pivotal moment for Granta Autonomy, validating our team’s talent and the advanced capabilities of our drone systems. We believe this will be a game-changer in enhancing the operational effectiveness of military vehicles.
Our specialists go to Ukraine to test our products, share insights with Ukrainian soldiers, and develop solutions that would be the most efficient on the bat- tlefield. We have seen first-hand on several occasions that it is this experi- ence and the advanced solutions born from it that are highly appreciated by our Western partners. In Lithuania, we will not be able to pro- duce tanks, rifles and long-range mis-
