Gjall

Autonomous interceptor drone

An autonomous interceptor.

Built to find and engage hostile drones without taking a human off the radar. Cheap enough to lose. Precise enough to win.

Capability brief

What Gjall does.

Four things, plainly stated. We will not promise what we have not delivered.

  • Detection

    Sees what other systems miss.

    EO and IR sensor fusion identifies small, fast, low-radar-cross-section targets that traditional air defence cannot pick up.

  • Autonomy

    Engages without a desk operator.

    Classifies, locks, and engages on its own. A human authorises at the moments that matter, not at every step.

  • Cost

    Cheap enough to lose.

    Built to be expended against drones that cost a fraction of the missiles we used to kill them with. Precise enough to still win.

  • Supply

    Made in Europe, fielded in Europe.

    Designed, assembled, and sustained inside the EU. Independent of supply chains that can be cut off.

Target view

Locked, tracked, engaged.

Thermal sensor view from a Gjall-equivalent interceptor: a small quadcopter framed inside a green tracking reticle, mid-flight against an open sky.

EO/IR tracking · Onboard classification

A hostile drone enters the airspace. Gjall identifies it, classifies it, locks on, and runs the intercept. The operator confirms. The engagement closes in seconds, not minutes.

Propulsion

The blades that chase.

Carbon-fibre propellers on brushless outrunner motors. Built for fast spin-up, hard climb, and the close-in manoeuvring an interceptor needs. Twin outboard nacelles, redundancy under fire.

Who it is for

For democracies. Nothing else.

Gjall is built for democratic states, their armed forces, and their allies. We will not sell it outside that circle, under any framing, at any price.

If you operate inside that circle and want to understand what Gjall can do for you, talk to us.
