German defense company TYTAN Technologies announced via its official social media that it had opened a new site in Bavaria and signed a memorandum of understanding with HENSOLDT, a radar systems specialist.
"Both steps serve the same mission—to turn Europe's capabilities to combat unmanned aerial vehicles into an industrial reality," TYTAN Technologies emphasizes. The company also claims that, since today's drone threats are cheap and easily mass-produced, countermeasures must be equally scalable.

According to the company, the opening of the new site marks a shift from development to serial production of interceptor drones, with a target of up to 3,000 anti-aircraft drones per month by year-end.
These are TYTAN Interceptor anti-aircraft drones, which have already been tested in the harsh conditions of the battlefield in Ukraine. The manufacturer stresses that lessons learned from using these drones have shaped their design, system architecture, and readiness for production.
The company is also collaborating with the German military to ensure operational compatibility and integration.
In December 2024, it was reported that Ukraine was testing German interceptor drones from TYTAN Technologies, intended to counter both long-range strike drones like the Shahed and reconnaissance drones like the Orlan and Zala.
Last fall, the German Armed Forces placed an order for anti-aircraft drones from TYTAN. It later became known that Interceptor drones could become part of NATO's eastern border defense. In particular, the signing of a memorandum of understanding with the Estonian company DefSecIntel Solutions was announced.
According to data from the official TYTAN Technologies website, Interceptor anti-aircraft drones have a speed of over 250 km/h, a range of over 15 km, and a weight of 5 kg with a warhead weighing 1 kg.
Earlier, Defense Express reported that Ukrainian Leleka-100 UAVs equipped with system to evade russia's anti-aircraft drones had appeared on the frontline.
