Ukraine’s OSIRIS AI has launched its UEB-1 interceptor drone at Xponential Europe 2026.
“The compact and high-speed interceptor (up to 315 km/h or 196 mph) can pursue and physically neutralize airborne threats with harrowing precision, thanks to AI predictive target tracking,” said the company in a press release.
“Unlike traditional systems, it’s built to be used often, not sparingly. And right now, this is what’s required for the next phase of air defence.
OSIRIS interceptor has an airframe of 370 × 370 × 550 mm (14.6 × 14.6 × 21.7 inches) and weighs just above 3 kg (6.6 lbs). Powered by a 10,000 mAh battery, it can carry a warhead up to 0.5kg (1.1 lbs) for a distance of up to 18 km (11.2 miles). “The total operating range varies based on line of sight and terrain,” says the company spokesperson. “But that’s the result we recently got back from Eastern Ukraine. The real-time video feed stayed crisp despite the interference.”
OSIRIS UEB Interceptor relies on analog 5.8 GHz video transmission, which keeps latency minimal during high-speed cruising. “Digital links encode and buffer video before sending it,” explains the company spokesperson. “So we opted for analog transmission. The picture is far from being HD, but the signal is continuous with near-zero latency, which is what you need to make the most of the interception window during the terminal approach.”
