Countering drones starts with realistic targets.

At Rutja Airfield, the Estonian Defence Forces recently showcased drone defence capabilities developed together with Estonia’s defence industry. KrattWorks demonstrated target drones and swarm simulation systems that help defence forces train and test their ability to detect, track, and counter aerial threats.

From autonomous drone swarms to our Dart fixed-wing platform, realistic training plays a key role in building effective air defence capabilities.

As drone technology evolves, so must the systems used to prepare for it.

Drone capabilities are becoming increasingly important across Europe, but so is the need for systems that can actually be tested, validated, and used in realistic training environments.

At the beginning of last year, only 2–3 countries were using KrattWorks’ target drone systems. Today that number has grown to 12 countries, with more currently joining.

In the latest Äripäev podcast episode, Head of Sales and former military professional Karmo Saar talks about scaling drone manufacturing, rapid growth, frontline robotisation, mobile factories, and the long-term potential of the company’s reconnaissance drone currently under development.

The discussion also touches on the recent drone incident in Estonia and how quickly the security and defense landscape around Europe is changing.

DART in action during Digital Shield 2026 in Estonia.

Used during a live counter-drone capability demonstration, DART supported allied readiness and testing of counter-UAS systems on NATO’s eastern flank.

Realistic target systems are an important part of developing and testing effective counter-UAS capabilities in operational environments, from training scenarios to live system evaluation.

Coordinating multiple drones with a single operator.

This demo shows how KrattWorks systems work together in practice, from ISR target identification to coordinated strike ex*****on.

The operator identifies and assigns the target, missions are generated and shared across strike drones, and on command the swarm engages. After the strike, ISR verifies the result and completes the loop.

A clear example of how coordinated unmanned systems operate.

Badb was presented at the GNC CapTech meeting in Germany, where teams working on guidance, navigation, and control came together to share ongoing work and progress.

KappaZeta Ltd represented the project and showcased the latest developments.

The event is part of the European Defence Agency’s CapTech framework, focused on advancing GNC technologies for defence systems.

We started with forest fire detection. Today we build jamming-resilient drones and aerial targets.

The focus has always been the same — test early, validate in real conditions.

Thanks to Tehnopol for sharing our story, and to ESA BIC Estonia for being part of that early phase.

Startup story: KrattWorks X ESA BIC Estonia 🛰️

ESA BIC Estonia, mida veab Sparkup Tartu Teaduspark koostöös Tehnopoliga, kuulub Euroopa Kosmoseagentuuri äriinkubaatorite võrgustikku. See toetab varajase faasi iduettevõtteid, kes arendavad kosmosetehnoloogial põhinevaid lahendusi või kasutavad kosmoseandmeid uuel viisil.

KrattWorks on üks ESA BIC Estonia vilistlastest, kelle lugu näitab hästi, kuidas tugev missioon aitab ettevõttel ajas kasvada.

2018. aastal kaheksaliikmelise asutajatiimi poolt loodud KrattWorks keskendus alguses droonide abil metsatulekahjude avastamisele. Täna on ettevõttes üle 80 inimese ning arendatakse elektroonilise sõjapidamise suhtes vastupidavaid luure- ja ründedroone ning õhusihtmärke.

KrattWorksi asutaja Mattias Luha sõnum tulevastele kandideerijatele: valideeri varakult, testi sageli ja püsi missiooni juures. 💡

Loe KrattWorksi lugu meie veebilehelt, link kommentaaris. 👇

⌛️ Kui arendad samuti kosmosevaldkonnaga seotud innovatsiooni, siis ESA BIC Estonia kandideerimisvoor on avatud kuni 1. maini. Programm pakub kuni 60 000 euro suurust tootearendustoetust, mentorlust ja ligipääsu rahvusvahelisele võrgustikule. Rohkem infot leiab programmi kodulehelt, mille lingi leiad kommentaaridest 👇

We’re in Stockholm at Defence Expo Sweden 2026, presenting a cross-section of our systems — from ISR to loitering munitions to aerial targets, built for real operational needs.

You’ll find us at Magasin 9 together with our Swedish representative On Target Solutions AB.

On display:
— Ghost Dragon: tactical ISR UAV for real-time situational awareness
— SLM: short-range, swarming-capable loitering munition concept
— PARM: aerial target quadcopter for counter-UAS training and testing

At KrattWorks, we build jamming-resilient, high-performance drones for demanding operational environments.

If you’re at the expo, feel free to stop by and take a look!
