Lithuania's PDKinematics builds Gannet guidance for small drones

Lithuanian startup PDKinematics has developed Gannet, a precision-guidance system for UAVs that enables guided munition drops from altitudes up to 700 metres — six times higher than unguided releases. The system is already deployed in Ukraine and several other European countries.

• Gannet enables accurate drops from altitudes up to 700 m
• The system is jam-resistant and works in GPS-denied environments
• Integration onto a new UAV type takes under four weeks
• The company has around 20 staff and was founded in late 2022
