Russian drones vary significantly in type, requiring different countermeasures: from FPV and tactical quadcopters like the Mavic to fixed-wing operational UAVs such as the Zala and long-range strike drones like the Shahed.
“Terma and Odd Systems will combine their existing solutions while developing a suite of products to counter these and other aerial threats,” Odd Systems noted.
Odd Systems is a defence tech company headquartered in Kyiv that specialises in the development and manufacturing of thermal imaging cameras and FPV drones.
It supplies the FPV aerial interceptor platform Horska-12, as well as strike FPV platforms Stus-7 and Lupynis-10. The company also designs and produces thermal imaging cameras for FPV drones in Ukraine – the Kurbas-256 and Kurbas-640.
Terma A/S is Denmark’s largest manufacturer of defence and aerospace equipment for both civilian and military applications. The company provides radar systems, avionics, and space electronics. Defense Express also noted that Terma is a supplier of components for the F-35 fighter jet.
Background: Recently, Defence Procurement Agency Director Arsen Zhumadilov stated that the agency had contracted tens of thousands of drone interceptors.
