About
Tenebris is a Ukrainian defense technology company focused on the development of advanced counter-drone and interceptor UAV systems. The company specializes in creating high-speed aerial interceptors designed to detect, track, and destroy hostile drones such as loitering munitions and reconnaissance UAVs. Tenebris combines aerospace engineering with artificial intelligence and autonomous guidance technologies to develop systems capable of operating in complex battlefield environments, including areas affected by electronic warfare and GPS disruption.
The company works on integrated counter-UAV solutions that combine interceptor drones, detection systems, and command-and-control software into mobile air-defense platforms. Tenebris collaborates with international partners in Europe to accelerate development of turbojet-powered interceptor drones and AI-based targeting systems intended to improve the effectiveness of drone interception. Its technologies are aimed at providing cost-effective air-defense tools capable of countering large numbers of incoming drones while supporting the modernization of Ukraine’s unmanned defense capabilities.

Products and Services of Tenebris
Products
- Interceptor drones — High-speed unmanned aerial vehicles designed to detect and destroy hostile drones such as loitering munitions and reconnaissance UAVs. These interceptors use onboard sensors and autonomous guidance systems to track aerial targets and engage them during flight.
- Turbojet interceptor UAVs — Advanced interceptor platforms powered by small jet engines, allowing significantly higher speeds and extended interception ranges. These drones are designed to counter fast or high-altitude aerial threats.
- AI-guided targeting systems — Artificial intelligence software used to identify, track, and guide interceptor drones toward aerial targets. These systems improve interception accuracy and reduce operator workload during engagements.
- Counter-UAV drone platforms — Integrated unmanned systems designed specifically for aerial defense missions, combining sensors, navigation systems, and interception capabilities.
Services
- Development of counter-drone technologies — Research and engineering of systems designed to detect, track, and intercept hostile drones.
- Drone system design and prototyping — Creation and testing of new interceptor UAV platforms and supporting technologies.
