Ukrainian engineers have created the WarDog reconnaissance drone, specifically designed to operate in challenging terrains and under hostile electronic warfare conditions, Mykhailo Fedorov, Minister of Digital Transformation of Ukraine, reports.
The WarDog system excels in reconnaissance missions, even when GPS signals are jammed. It can operate autonomously, semi-autonomously or in manual flight modes. With a flight endurance of up to 60 minutes and a range of 10 km with communication (or up to 30 km in autopilot mode), the drone maintains a speed of 12-15 m/s.

Currently deployed as part of the Army of Drones project, the WarDog drones are actively engaged in operational tasks in Zaporizhzhia and Kharkiv regions. Recent tests near Kramatorsk showcased the drone’s capabilities in GPS-suppressed environments, operating successfully at altitudes exceeding 50 m.
One key advantage highlighted by military personnel is the drone’s stability in flight even without GPS signals. This stability enables clear imagery and enhanced focus, especially in windy conditions. In response to this feedback, developers have further refined the UAV’s features, enhancing its role as a precise artillery’s eyes on the battlefield.
