"Ready for Combat"
Turkish defense-tech company founded 2024, developing tactical FPV attack drones and counter-UAV interceptor systems with AI-powered target-lock modules.
Skydagger Drones is a Turkish defense technology company founded in 2024, specializing in the design and manufacture of tactical unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for military and defense applications. The company develops complete drone systems including airframes, cameras, payloads, fiber-optic communication links, batteries, and AI-driven targeting modules under a modular, interdisciplinary engineering approach.
Skydagger's product portfolio is organized into six families: the Drone Family (multirotor FPV attack drones), the Fixed Wing Family, the Interceptor Family (counter-drone hunter systems), the Ammunition Family (munition/warhead payloads), the Fiber Family (secure fiber-optic data links), and the Battery Family (purpose-built power systems).
The flagship RTF 10-inch drone carries a maximum warhead of 3 kg, achieves speeds up to 130 km/h, has a combat range of 10 km, and a flight duration of 36 minutes (12 minutes with warhead). The RTF 7-inch variant has a maximum flight time of 12 minutes with payload, 20 minutes without, a range of 10 km, and a top speed of 130 km/h. The Interceptor Hunter Drone is designed to detect and engage enemy UAVs cued by radar.
A key differentiating subsystem is the Lock Module — an AI-powered autonomous image-processing unit providing target detection, tracking, and engagement capability, integrable across all Skydagger platforms due to its modular design. Camera options include a standard Daycam for daylight operations and a Dual Camera thermal/daylight system for day-night missions. Lidar sensors provide high-accuracy distance measurement for munition systems.
The company also operates an online flight simulator available on Steam (Drones of War: FPV Drone Simulator, app ID 3484690), enabling operator pre-training. Skydagger's mission is to increase security and operational efficiency in the aviation/defense sector; its vision is to become a global leader in autonomous defense systems.
