Vyriy and The Fourth Law launch mass production of autonomous drones Vyriy-10-TFL-1

Ukrainian drone manufacturer Vyriy and defence autonomy startup The Fourth Law have launched mass production of FPV drones fitted with terminal-guidance modules, the companies said in a joint press release.

The new line is based on Vyriy’s popular Vyriy-10 FPV platform, which will now be offered with The Fourth Law’s TFL-1 guidance module.

Vyriy CEO Oleksii Babenko said the teams ran dozens of tests and proved that artificial intelligence is a working tool for detecting and striking targets, substantially increasing FPV effectiveness. “We have decided to integrate TFL-1 across our drones and expect to see a rise in successful strikes as soon as next month,” he added.

The Fourth Law’s CEO Yaroslav Azhniuk said the company has already supplied TFL-1 modules to several frontline brigades in recent months. “Using our system has increased strike effectiveness by two to four times, while raising cost by only about 10%,” he claims.

Babenko said the partners worked to keep the guidance module’s impact on the drone’s final price minimal. The Vyriy-10-TFL-1 will retail at ₴18,500, he said — a price that, in his view, remains competitive compared with conventional FPV drones.

How TFL-1 works

According to The Fourth Law, TFL-1 is the result of nearly two years of engineering work and has recently received NATO codification.

The computer-vision-based system operates on a fire-and-forget principle: once a target is visually detected, an onboard computer running AI algorithms takes over control, ensuring hits even under EW and other radio interference.

“Given its effectiveness, we expect most frontline drones to be equipped with similar autonomy systems within 6–9 months,” Azhniuk concluded.

The Fourth Law notes that the General Staff, Ministry of Defence and Ministry of Digital Transformation have repeatedly stressed the need to scale quality autonomy solutions. An additional incentive has been introduced: for each confirmed strike performed by drones with guidance systems, soldiers will receive extra “e-points” in the national rewards system for Ukrainian defenders. Accumulated e-points can be spent on Brave1’s specialised marketplace; one e-point is roughly equivalent to ₴10,000 in equipment purchasing power.
