How is an interceptor drone different from a shotgun or electronic warfare?
Small arms are unreliable against a small, fast aerial target: shotguns and machine guns give no guaranteed kill against a UAV — proven in practice. Electronic warfare jams the control link but fails against targets with onboard autonomy or alternative communication channels. The interceptor drone meets the target in the air and physically rams it at range and altitude — where a shotgun is useless. It complements the security team's kit rather than replacing it.
Does the interceptor work when GPS is jammed?
Yes. VOLKODAV 2 does not use satellite navigation: the operator aims and launches the drone over a radio link, and the final approach is handled by the onboard AI using video from the forward-facing thermal camera. GPS/GLONASS jamming, which disables most autonomous UAVs, has no effect on the interceptor.
What is included in the delivery kit?
Six components: the interceptor drone — a 10-inch FPV platform with onboard AI; the control kit — ground control station, pilot remote, FPV goggles and operator workstation; the early detection system with target designation for the crew; the homing software — onboard target lock and interception; crew training in piloting and employment; and ongoing support — service, spare parts and expendable drones.
How much does the VOLKODAV 2 interceptor drone cost?
The reference price is about 350,000 RUB per interceptor. The final price depends on the kit configuration: the early detection setup, the number of expendable drones, and the scope of training and support. For comparison, the damage from a single successful UAV strike is estimated at 50–500 million RUB, so the kit pays for itself with the first prevented incident.
What stage is the product at?
A working prototype is being built right now: the airframe, the onboard AI and the homing system. We are ready to demonstrate an interception at a test range in real conditions. Next steps are a pilot deployment at the customer's site with crew training, followed by serial production. Manufacturing scales to the customer's volume and mission.
