MERCURY UAS – Unmanned Aerial System

MERCURY UAS is a reconnaissance drone that is fully adapted to real combat conditions and has undergone combat tests on the border with the enemy (russia), where it proved its effectiveness.

Thanks to its vertical takeoff and landing engines, the system is easy to launch: it only requires a 5x5 meter area. This saves time and eliminates the need to search for a mine-free field in advance, land wherever possible, and avoid damaging the camera by hitting bushes or "plowing the ground."

What makes vertical take-off and landing special in MERCURY UAS?

  • The vertical take-off and landing function of MERCURY UAS allows it to operate from better-protected locations instead of exposed open terrain under enemy surveillance.

  • No need to search for take-off and landing spots, walk through minefields, or spend time setting up a catapult or bungee.

  • The design eliminates the risk of damaging the drone during a rough landing — especially important if the camera is front-mounted.

Capabilities of MERCURY UAS in real war conditions

  • Simplified deployment

    Fast setup and discreet usage thanks to no need for a catapult or bungee launcher.

  • Tactical surveillance

    The MERCURY reconnaissance drone performs area monitoring, detects enemy positions, equipment, fortifications, and other battlefield elements — providing timely and reliable intel.

  • Fire adjustment

    The complex provides fire adjustment for artillery and long-range systems, which allows for increased accuracy of fire strikes.

  • Adaptability

    Supports manual flight mode, satellite navigation (GPS, GLONASS), automatic waypoint flight, and autonomous return-to-home function.

  • Autonomous mission execution

    Capable of continuing flight in challenging conditions — during adverse weather, in radio silence mode, and even in areas with active electronic warfare operations.

  • Anti-takeover protection

    The enemy will not be able to take control of the drone or shoot it down with interference signals.

ANT – Ukrainian Drone Manufacturer

«AVIATION NEW TECHNOLOGIES» is a path of persistence and continuous improvement.

From the first designs to advanced developments, we stay focused on innovation, working where our help is needed most.

Our core mission is to equip Ukrainian defenders with the most advanced technologies to help achieve victory.

We focus on long-term development and aim to demonstrate the potential of Ukrainian technologies to the world, strengthening Ukraine’s position as a reliable partner in the field of technical innovation.

We strive to make the world safer — and bring Ukraine’s victory closer!

Our Values

Safety
Innovation
Quality and reliability
Fairness

Our story began in 2014, when Ukraine faced new challenges that demanded decisive action. At that time, we — IT specialists and volunteers — directed our efforts and aviation modeling expertise to support the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Despite technical and financial difficulties, we created our first UAV back in 2014. Since then, we have manufactured and delivered a large number of custom-made unmanned systems for Special Operations Forces, which continue to operate successfully and complete combat (special) missions.

However, with the start of the full-scale invasion in 2022, it became clear that our accumulated experience needed to be scaled up for the benefit of the country. We focused on the production of high-tech reconnaissance drones tailored to the needs of the Armed Forces.

That’s when the MERCURY UAS was developed — a high-performance unmanned aerial system equipped with advanced electronic technologies.

This is more than just a business to us — it’s our contribution to victory. We believe in the power of innovation and strive for every one of our products to be a symbol of Ukraine’s defense and support for its defenders.
