A Polish-Ukrainian defence-tech firm building Scan Horizon, an autonomous 360-degree net turret that detects and intercepts FPV drones without operator input.

Postup Solutions is a Polish-Ukrainian defence-tech company developing Scan Horizon, an autonomous net turret aimed at the FPV drones that now cause the majority of frontline equipment losses. The system is a low-cost 360-degree turret that fuses three sensing methods — passive acoustic detection, AI camera tracking and short-range radar — to work out a drone’s direction, distance and speed in real time, then fires a net to bring it down at close range. Reporting puts the acoustic stage at up to roughly 20 metres, the camera at about 25 metres and the radar at around 18 metres, with net interception effective at roughly 2.5 to 6 metres.

What sets the system apart is its autonomy: once an operator activates it, Scan Horizon takes over the whole sequence, from finding a target to deciding to engage, without further human input. Developers showed the turret at the EDTH hackathon held in Kyiv on 1-3 May 2026, where it reportedly fired autonomously for the first time and intercepted an FPV drone with a net on its second attempt. Chief executive Vlad Kozak has said the working system emerged over the course of four hackathons rather than from a single demonstration.

The design targets the same gap as other Ukrainian kinetic counter-drone efforts — fibre-optic-controlled and jamming-immune FPVs that electronic warfare cannot touch — placing it alongside the edge-AI net automation of I-SEE and the shotgun module from VARTA , part of a wider counter-FPV wave nurtured through the Brave1 defence cluster. Its developers frame the problem as a NATO-wide one, noting that large fleets of allied vehicles remain largely unprotected against the same cheap threat.

  • Scan Horizon

    A low-cost autonomous 360-degree turret that fuses passive acoustic detection, AI camera tracking and short-range radar to find an FPV drone and fire a net at it (reported effective at roughly 2.5-6 m) without operator participation once activated.
