What Kvertus does

Kvertus (Квертус) is a Kyiv-based Ukrainian defense technology company that develops and manufactures radio electronic warfare (EW/РЕБ) and electronic intelligence (ELINT/РЕР) systems, with a primary focus on counter-drone applications. Its product portfolio spans roughly 40 systems across portable anti-drone rifles (AD G-6, AD G-6+, AD MW, AD HUNTER), portable multiband EW sets (KRAKEN series, CHAOS, COUNTER FPV), vehicle-mounted systems (AD CERBERUS), stationary infrastructure protection (VEPR series), the AD BERSERK ground robotic EW platform, the LTEJ MIRAGE smart EW jammer, and the KVERTUS MS AZIMUTH passive detector. The flagship ATLAS Complex integrates AZIMUTH (ELINT) and MIRAGE (EW) into a single detect-and-suppress architecture, claiming detection ranges up to 150 km and suppression ranges up to 30 km. Core technical differentiators include 14 configurable frequency band combinations in the 300-6000 MHz range, coherent jamming with simultaneous omnidirectional and directional antenna operation, and three-stage quality control with monthly production capacity exceeding 5,000 devices.\n\nThe company sells hardware directly to the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine and, since November 2025, supplies 180 military brigades through the DOT-Chain Defence decentralized procurement marketplace. Other customers include critical infrastructure operators needing fixed-site drone defense. Pricing is unit-based and varies by configuration; the LTEJ MIRAGE starts at 290,000 UAH, and defense goods are exempt from VAT during martial law. The company is also actively raising capital from family offices and private investors in the UK and Switzerland, targeting a total raise of $135 million against $16 million already secured for the ATLAS program.\n\nKvertus is founder-led, with CEO Yaroslav Filimonov and Commercial Director Serhiy Skoryk publicly representing the firm. The company employs 51-100 staff, is featured in The Times (UK) as a combat-proven EW innovator, and operates from a single Kyiv headquarters. Its competitive position rests on battlefield-validated technology, rapid iteration cycles (1-2 months from concept to production), cost advantages versus Western EW primes, and direct access to a wartime customer base that drives a continuous product feedback loop.

Direct peers

• Dedrone: Dedrone provides counter-drone detection (rf sensors, cameras) and defeat solutions integrated into a single command-and-control platform. Comparable to Kvertus's integrated Atlas approach (AZIMUTH detection + MIRAGE jamming) and serves the same military and critical-infrastructure customers globally.
• Liteye Systems: US counter-UAS and EW systems integrator offering portable, vehicle-mounted, and fixed-site anti-drone solutions to military and critical-infrastructure clients. Directly comparable to Kvertus's KRAKEN, VEPR, and AD-series portable anti-drone products across deployment scenarios.
• Blighter Surveillance Systems: UK-based designer and manufacturer of electronic-scanning radar and counter-UAS systems (AUDS/CUAS) deployed by militaries and homeland security. Comparable to Kvertus in providing detection and integrated counter-drone solutions to defense/security customers, with a Western/NATO go-to-market.
• DroneShield: DroneShield is an Australian-listed counter-UAS vendor offering drone detection and defeat systems (RfPatrol, DroneGun, DroneSentry) to military, government, and critical infrastructure customers. Directly comparable to Kvertus in target market, product category (counter-drone EW), and growth-stage dynamics; competes with Kvertus for the same global defense and critical-infrastructure wallet share.
• Citadel Defense Company: US developer of AI-enabled counter-drone RF detection/effect systems used by US Department of Defense, allies, and DHS. Comparable to Kvertus's AZIMUTH and MIRAGE in combining RF detection with jamming effects against commercial and military drones.

Broad incumbents

• Thales: Global aerospace and defense prime with a substantial EW, SIGINT, and counter-UAS business (e.g., Tactical SINGARS, E-SCAN radar, EW suites). Comparable to Kvertus in product category and customer profile but operates as a Western entrenched prime with broader portfolio and NATO/EU sales channels.
• Aaronia AG: German manufacturer of real-time spectrum analyzers, RF sensors, and counter-drone systems used by defense forces globally. Kvertus explicitly names Aaronia as a competitor it undercuts on price while offering comparable functionality, making it a directly comparable peer in product/spectrum-awareness capability.
• Elbit Systems: Israeli defense electronics prime with a broad EW, SIGINT, and counter-UAS portfolio (including ReDrone) supplied to militaries worldwide. Comparable to Kvertus in core EW/SIGINT technology category and broader defense customer base, though Elbit is a diversified incumbent across many domains.
• Anduril Industries: US defense-tech prime operating the Lattice platform with integrated EW, counter-UAS, and autonomous-system capabilities for US DoD and allied militaries. Overlaps with Kvertus in counter-drone EW and broader electronic warfare; broader and better-capitalized but less EW-specialized.

Emerging players

• Fortem Technologies: US counter-drone company offering DroneHunter interceptors and SkyDome airspace awareness for military, government, and critical-infrastructure customers. Adjacent to Kvertus in counter-drone mission but focused on kinetic/copter interception rather than RF jamming — a different defeat modality.
