Ukrainian interceptor JEDI Shahed Hunter completes codification

The high-speed JEDI Shahed Hunter interceptor drone has completed codification and already has confirmed cases of intercepting and destroying hostile drones. Defender Media learned this from the manufacturer.

JEDI Shahed Hunter is a vertical take-off drone capable of carrying up to 500 g of payload. Its estimated flight range reaches up to 15 km, with an endurance of 12–15 minutes depending on the battery and speed mode. The maximum flight speed with payload exceeds 350 km/h, while the maximum operating altitude is up to 4 km.

The drone is equipped with both daylight and thermal imaging cameras and operates in conjunction with a ground control station that provides coordination, stable communications and accuracy of use. The system implements automated target detection using real-time radar data, enabling automatic guidance of interceptor drones.

According to the manufacturer, the company is currently testing integration with Ground Control to enable automatic receipt of radar data and automatic guidance of the drone into the target area.

JEDI has already entered serial production, with manufacturing capacity exceeding 1,000 drones per month. In addition to the drone itself, the JEDI aviation system has also completed codification and is available for order on the state marketplace Brave1.

Earlier, Defender Media reported on the F7 Litavr interceptor, which accelerates to 300 km/h and has an operational radius of up to 36 km.
