Ukrainian radar and command systems developer SEE unveils its own high-speed interceptor drone

The Ukrainian company SEE (System Electronic Export) has unveiled its SEEDIS air target interception system at the World Defense Show defence exhibition. The project is positioned as part of a layered defence concept for critical infrastructure, in which drones act as the first line of engagement, Militarnyi reports.

SEEDIS is integrated with the automated command station Krechet. Once a threat is detected, algorithms automatically distribute targets among launchers based on the type of threat and the distance to the object, and when the calculated engagement line is reached, the system generates target designation and a launch command.

The software adjusts the flight in real time, and at the final stage of approach the onboard computer activates the target acquisition system. Target recognition is carried out using either day or night cameras at a distance of up to 500–1,000 metres, with the use of artificial intelligence algorithms.

The interceptor’s maximum speed is 320 km/h, with a cruising speed of around 190 km/h, allowing it to effectively engage most reconnaissance UAVs and kamikaze drones. The system’s tactical radius is 18 km, its maximum range with payload is 36 km, and its operational flight altitude is up to 3,000 metres.

SEE was founded in 2017 and specialises in the development and production of radar data collection and processing systems, as well as automated command systems. The company’s portfolio includes the Krechet automated command system (for the operational control of mobile air defence fire groups) and the Nabat system (for automating command tasks and functions for air force and air defence units), as well as radar stations, 3D radars and electronic warfare systems.
