JEDI Hunter
Product descripton: JEDI Hunter by Neo Drones Tech
The JEDI Shahed Hunter is a Ukrainian unmanned aerial interceptor system designed to detect, track, and destroy hostile strike and reconnaissance UAVs. Developed by Neo Drones Tech, the system combines a high-speed electric multirotor platform with radar-assisted target designation, autonomous terminal guidance, and integrated optical and thermal sensors for effective day-and-night operations.
Designed specifically for counter-UAV missions, JEDI Shahed Hunter automatically receives target data from radar systems, rapidly enters the engagement zone, autonomously locks onto aerial targets, and performs terminal interception with minimal operator involvement. The system supports long-range remote operation via IP-based communications, including Starlink, and offers resilient radio links for operation in contested electronic warfare environments.
