Ukrainian drone manufacturer VYRIY has announced an update to its standard drone configuration with the introduction of a “cruise‑control” mode. The feature was developed at the request of the military and enhances the drones’ resilience to electronic interference, the company announced.

According to the manufacturer, the software update has been available for all drones since 1 December. The mode is implemented at flight‑controller level and increases the rate of successfully completed missions even in cases of short‑term loss of control. The effectiveness of the cruise‑control mode has been confirmed by internal trials and field tests involving combat units.

VYRIY’s engineers estimate that the introduction of cruise control will boost overall drone performance by around 20%. The company notes that it is the first to implement such a solution at system level.

The VYRIY drone line‑up includes fibre‑optic drones with ranges of 10 and 15 km and kamikaze drones built on 8‑, 10‑ and 15‑inch frames. Earlier, the company announced that the Vyriy‑10 drone would be equipped with the TFL‑1 guidance‑assistance module from Fourth Law.
