Ukraine has launched serial production of the Octopus interceptor drone, designed to counter Russian Shahed attack UAVs. The first manufacturers have already received the technology, said Ukrainian Defense Minister Denys Shmyhal.

According to Shmyhal, three manufacturers have received the necessary technologies to produce Octopus drones, while another eleven are preparing their production lines.

"Octopus is a Ukrainian technology for intercepting Shaheds, developed by the Armed Forces and proven in combat. It works at night, under jamming, and at low altitudes," the minister noted.

He added that launching Octopus into mass production will allow interceptor drones to be delivered quickly to protect Ukraine’s skies from Russian UAVs.

"The Ministry of Defense continues its policy of open cooperation with Ukrainian manufacturers, creating conditions for a rapid transition from innovation to serial combat solutions that strengthen Ukraine’s defense capability,” Shmyhal added.

Earlier, Shmyhal promised that Ukraine would soon reach a production rate of 1,000 interceptor drones per day, saying this is Ukraine’s response to Russia’s night attacks.

Octopus is a Ukrainian small interceptor drone designed to locate and destroy disposable Shahed-type attack UAVs and similar models. The system has already proven effective on the battlefield and has become the basis for an international industrial program for mass production.

The drone is co-produced by Ukraine and the United Kingdom. Ukraine has also begun joint production with the United States of interceptor drones capable of countering Russian attack UAVs, although it is unclear whether this refers specifically to Octopus.

Business Insider reported on November 12 that European defense company Atreyd stated that it shipped its “drone wall” system to Ukraine.[20]

The “drone wall” reportedly consists of a collection of first-person view (FPV) drones that launch from designated platforms if radar systems detect a threat, and the drones are arrayed in layers and spaced apart. The FPVs intercept Russian drones by detonating nearby. The system reportedly relies on artificial intelligence (AI) to operate autonomously, and one operator will be able to control 100 drones. Business Insider reported that the “drone wall” system is able to operate in GPS-denied areas as it uses pre-installed 3D maps of the area, augmenting the system’s electronic warfare (EW) resilience. The system’s drones are able to operate at various altitudes and are equipped with identification technology to prevent friendly fire. Business Insider noted that system operators will not require any specialized training nor prior drone pilot training. Atreyd noted that the system will likely be operational in Ukraine within a few weeks and that Ukraine will employ the system to defend its cities and critical infrastructure, but may deploy systems closer to the frontline to intercept Russian glide bombs later. Atreyd’s “drone wall” system is defensive in nature and notably differs from Ukraine’s tactical ”wall of drones” concept, which uses a large number of tactical strike drones and loitering munitions to destroy manpower and equipment on the frontline.[21]
