US-Ukrainian Kara Dag Technologies partners with Anduril – what is known

US-Ukrainian drone detector and EW system manufacturer Kara Dag Technologies has entered into a strategic partnership with US corporation Anduril Industries. Kara Dag disclosed the details to Defender Media.

Andrew Poberezhniuk, COO of Kara Dag Technologies, explains that over its years of operation, the company has built what it believes is one of the most extensive real-world RF datasets on UAV signals. As the electromagnetic environment becomes more contested and unpredictable, the gap between controlled testing and real-world performance has become a critical limitation. Addressing this gap requires access to datasets that reflect actual field conditions.

“This cooperation is part of a larger transition in how defence systems are built,” says COO. “In RF and counter-UAS domains, data is no longer a byproduct – it is a foundational layer that directly impacts system performance, adaptability, and iteration speed.”

Kara Dag Technologies has been working on drone detection since 2023. The company’s product line includes portable UAV detection devices, including for FPV drones. The world’s first pocket-sized drone detector with AI classification is also in its final development stages. In 2024, the developer raised investment from Green Flag Ventures.

Anduril Industries is a US company that manufactures defence products for use on land, in the air, and underwater. In particular, it manufactures drones and unmanned combat aerial vehicles. The company regularly receives contracts from the US government; the most recent is worth $20bn for the purchase of the defence startup’s software and hardware. This month, the company raised a further investment round, which, according to the WSJ, increased its valuation to $60bn.
