VYRIY Introduces Advanced 'Cruise Control' for Drones

The Ukrainian company VYRIY has launched a new 'cruise control' feature for its drone models, marking a significant advancement in drone technology. This system enhances the UAVs' resistance to electronic warfare (EW) and increases the likelihood of mission completion even during temporary loss of control. According to the company’s press release, this mode allows drones to autonomously maintain flight speed and altitude without continuous operator intervention.
In cases of temporary loss of communication, the drone continues on a stable trajectory, and upon regaining control, the operator can adjust its course and altitude. This capability enables drones to navigate through zones affected by both friendly and enemy EW systems.
Additionally, the 'cruise control' mode reduces the risk of uncontrolled drone descent, optimizes energy consumption, and extends mission duration. This feature will be available on all drone models starting December 1, 2025, at no extra cost.
"We are the first in Ukraine to implement such a systematic solution, developed at the request of the military. Our estimates suggest it will enhance drone effectiveness by approximately 20%", said the engineers at VYRIY.
It is also noted that the solution has undergone extensive internal testing and field trials with combat units.
Previously, VYRIY launched a scholarship program for future defense industry engineers, aimed at providing financial support to 35 talented young specialists for six months.
