Estonian defense technology firm Frankenburg Technologies has announced the successful testing of its Mark I interceptor missile, designed to counter unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). The test simulated a Shahed-style drone target, demonstrating the missile’s capability to engage and neutralize airborne threats.
According to company officials, the Mark I is capable of engaging targets at distances of up to 2 kilometers. During the test, the missile reached speeds of approximately 1,000 kilometers per hour in its terminal phase, highlighting its potential to effectively intercept fast-moving UAVs.
The development of the Mark I reflects ongoing efforts by defense companies to enhance short-range drone defense systems. While specific deployment plans or operational use have not been disclosed, the successful test marks a significant milestone for Frankenburg Technologies in expanding its missile defense portfolio.
