Lithuanian drone startup PDKinematics raises €2 million to expand precision targeting systems across NATO, tested in Ukraine and collaborating with European drone firms, with plans to deploy in NATO naval forces.
Lithuanian drone technology startup PDKinematics has secured €2 million in seed funding co-led by Coinvest Capital and Iron Wolf Capital to scale its precision targeting systems across NATO member states. The funding will be invested in expanding production and developing their flagship product, Gannet, a precision targeting system enabling drones to accurately strike targets from up to 700 meters altitude. PDKinematics technology has been tested in Ukraine, where it partners strategically with drone manufacturer Bavovna.ai, and also collaborates with Italian drone producer SiraLab. The company plans to deploy its precision targeting technology within the naval forces of an unnamed NATO member state and supplies targeting systems and components to drone manufacturers, defense integrators, and NATO forces.
Confidence: Medium
The signal reports on expansion and development of advanced drone targeting technology for NATO members, indicating defense technology growth rather than direct aggression.
