Granta Autonomy develops fully autonomous UAVs, lightweight direct‑drive micro gimbals, and Digital Datalink software for ISTAR and reconnaissance missions. Its flagship Hornet XR is a hand‑launched mini reconnaissance UAV with silent flight up to three hours, up to 160 km range, pre‑programmed autonomous missions, GNSS‑denied capability and deep‑stall self‑landing. The GS‑214X and GS‑218X micro gimbals are ultra‑lightweight systems that deliver clear daytime imaging to about 5 kilometres and provide thermal vision for nighttime operations. The company says its team has personally tested systems on Ukraine’s front lines and currently supplies a battery of UAVs to the Ukrainian army and Hornet UAVs to NATO forces across Europe. Founded by former military engineers Gediminas Guoba and Laurynas Litvinas and developing reconnaissance systems since 2015, Granta plans to ramp up manufacturing across Europe to reduce reliance on external sources. It recently closed a €1 million seed round to accelerate development and production of its UAVs, gimbals, and Digital Datalink software.
