About VKRJ Defence

Slovak Pioneer in
Unmanned Systems

VKRJ Defence s.r.o. is a Slovak defence technology company engaged in the research, development, and supply of advanced unmanned systems. Headquartered in Bratislava, we combine deep engineering expertise with official licencing to deliver compliant, cutting-edge solutions to defence and security clients.

Our core research focus is next-generation unmanned systems — developing novel drone control architectures, autonomous surface vessel platforms, and the sensor-fusion frameworks that underpin modern battlefield and maritime awareness.

We operate across two primary domains: unmanned aerial systems (sUAS), led by our Sokoly precision platform, and unmanned surface vessels (USV) — a modular maritime platform adaptable for military strike, patrol, anti-air defence, and a wide range of civilian applications including search & rescue and scientific research.

As an officially licenced trader under Slovak Ministry of Economy Permit No. PO16/2021-50, every product and transaction is fully compliant with national and EU defence export regulations.

Defence Solutions

01 // Aerial Systems
Next-Gen UAS Control Systems
VKRJ Defence is actively developing a new class of unmanned systems control architectures — moving beyond conventional GCS paradigms toward distributed, AI-assisted autonomy. Our research spans link-resilient communications, multi-UAV swarm coordination, and encrypted command pathways designed for electronically contested environments.
Sensor Fusion & Autonomy R&D
Our R&D programme integrates multi-spectral sensing, onboard edge computing, and real-time data relay into a unified autonomy framework. Systems are designed to maintain mission effectiveness in GPS-denied and RF-contested environments — a critical requirement for modern theatre operations.
02 // Maritime Unmanned Systems (USV)

VKRJ Defence is developing a family of Unmanned Surface Vessels (USV) built around a modular multi-role platform architecture. A single fiberglass hull is rapidly reconfigured for a broad spectrum of missions by swapping payload modules — reducing lifecycle cost, simplifying logistics, and maximising operational flexibility across coastal, riverine, and open-water environments. With a cruising range of 1,000 nautical miles and up to three days of battery endurance, our USV platform delivers persistent, long-range autonomous capability.

C-UAS Anti-Air Defence
Maritime counter-UAS with HALO radar, EO/IR, and effector systems. Detects, tracks, and neutralises aerial threats for port protection, fleet defence, and critical infrastructure.
Patrol & Area Surveillance
Long-endurance autonomous patrol with AIS, Silvus/Starlink comms, FLIR, and HALO radar. Up to 1,000 NM range for EEZ monitoring, border patrol, and maritime domain awareness.
Loitering Strike (Kamikaze)
High-speed autonomous surface strike. Missile turret, torpedo, or direct FPV strike configurations. Engineered for asymmetric naval warfare and cost-effective offensive operations.
Drone Carrier Platform
Multi-UAS launch and recovery vessel. Carries and deploys multiple tactical drones from open water — extending aerial ISR and strike reach far beyond shore-based operations.
Search & Rescue (SAR)
Rapid-response maritime SAR with thermal imaging and survivor detection. Deployable without risk to human crew — operable in adverse sea states within minutes of alert.
Research & Civilian
Hydrographic survey, environmental monitoring, port inspection, and scientific data collection. Same proven hull, fully customisable payload interface for civil operators and agencies.
03 // Electronic Warfare & Counter-UAS

VKRJ Defence develops and produces state-of-the-art Electronic Warfare and Counter-UAS systems — comprehensive solutions to detect, classify, track, and neutralise unmanned aerial threats of all types. From passive RF detection to active jamming and hard-kill effectors, our EW portfolio addresses the full spectrum of modern drone threats on the battlefield and in protected airspace.

Drone Detection Systems
Multi-sensor detection platforms combining RF signal analysis, radar, acoustic sensors, and electro-optical/infrared imaging. Capable of detecting and classifying commercial, modified commercial, and military-grade UAS across all operating altitudes — including micro and nano drones.
Electronic Warfare — Jamming & Spoofing
Directional and omnidirectional RF jamming systems disrupting control links, GPS navigation, and data uplinks of hostile UAS. Advanced spoofing modules for controlled redirection and takeover. Designed for fixed-site, vehicle-mounted, and manportable configurations.
Early Warning & Alert Systems
Persistent area-surveillance platforms delivering real-time drone threat alerts via automated C2 integration. Multi-sensor fusion provides bearing, range, altitude, and classification data to operators within seconds of detection — enabling rapid response before threat reaches the protected perimeter.
Integrated C-UAS Solutions
End-to-end counter-UAS architectures combining detection, tracking, electronic attack, and kinetic defeat into unified layered-defence systems. Scalable from single-site point defence to wide-area multi-node networks. Fully customised to client threat environment and operational doctrine.
