ZIR System
Develops a compact computer-vision module that lets FPV drones recognise and lock onto several classes of battlefield target.
ZIR System is a Ukrainian developer of computer-vision target-detection and lock-on modules for FPV and kamikaze drones. The module carries its own camera and connects to a standard flight controller and video transmitter, so it can be fitted to multicopter, fixed-wing, or jet FPV platforms. According to its developers it recognises seven classes of target — infantry, cars, minivans, trucks, air-defence systems, artillery, and armoured vehicles — auto-detecting at ranges from roughly 150 to 800 metres depending on the target, acquiring up to about 1,000 metres, and tracking targets moving up to 60 km/h.
The system is built to keep guiding the drone once its autopilot engages, which the company presents as a defence against electronic warfare on the front. Coverage of the module notes it adds only a modest premium over conventional homing systems. ZIR’s products sit alongside other Ukrainian vision-guidance efforts such as The Fourth Law and Dwarf Engineering .
