The Ukrainian company OSIRIS AI has developed a new interceptor drone called the UEB-1.

This unmanned aerial vehicle is capable of reaching speeds up to 315 km/h. The company recently presented the drone to the public for the first time at the Xpotential exhibition held in Dusseldorf, Germany, according to Militarnyi on March 25.

During the event, the development team showcased what the drone can do. Representatives from the company told Militarnyi that “The OSIRIS UEB-1 interceptor drone is a key product of the company in the direction of unmanned solutions for modern security challenges.”

The UEB-1 uses onboard data processing, which allows it to complete interception tasks with very little help from a human operator.

Its high speed is designed specifically for chasing and catching fast-moving targets in the air. The system uses artificial intelligence to predict where a target is going and to track it effectively.

The drone has a flight range of up to 18 kilometers depending on the environment, and it can stay in the air for more than 10 minutes.

The device weighs 3.1 kg in total, which includes a 0.5 kg payload. Its frame is made of carbon fiber and measures 370 x 370 x 550 mm.

The company stated that “the construction ensures rigidity and control precision during active pursuit missions.”

In 2025, the Ukrainian startup OSIRIS AI received investment from a foreign partner. The company focuses on creating autonomous technology for drones known as OSIRIS DroneOS.

This platform allows unmanned systems to work on their own by processing data in real time, which removes the need for constant control by an operator.

The Ukrainian company SEE, in cooperation with NAUDI, unveiled a new autonomous aerial interception system known as SEEDIS at the World Defense Show in Riyadh.

The system introduced a revised approach to protecting critical infrastructure through layered air defense, where interceptor drones acted as the first line of engagement against airborne threats.

Developers stated that SEEDIS was distinguished by its fully autonomous targeting capability, which reduced reliance on human operators and removed the need for FPV pilots.

The drone was designed to independently detect targets, calculate interception paths, and carry out strikes without direct human input.

Effectively functioning as an intelligent analogue of a surface-to-air missile.
