Which aircraft takes which target, decided in flight across the fleet rather than by an operator picking them one at a time.
Deconfliction
Two aircraft independently lock the same target. One of them has to let go, and it has to happen in under a second.
Link loss
The operator link drops mid-engagement. The fleet keeps working to the last authorisation instead of falling out of the sky.
Every counter-drone system in service today is cued from the ground. Kill the radar and the effectors are blind. We build for the case where every aircraft is its own sensor.
Runs structuring, capital, and government & B2B access. Hosted republic-level events attended by ministers and the Chairman of the Senate of Kazakhstan - the access NEVOD's government channel runs through.
Owns the autonomy stack: the GPU physics simulator, the reinforcement-learning guidance policy, and the on-board detector. WorldSkills Kazakhstan gold medalist in CAD modelling, invited to represent Kazakhstan at EuroSkills; national medalist in competitive programming.
Designs the interceptor himself: multilayer PCBs, STM32 and ESP32 firmware, flight electronics, the net release mechanism. Built a modular PLC platform from scratch and used it to control a laser separator on a live conveyor line.
Turns plans into things that physically exist. Put the company's first capital in, negotiated NEVOD's lab and test-range access, and closed the component procurement the current hardware is built from.
Why this team
Two of us build the hardware with our own hands; the other two get it in front of buyers. Sergey pairs mechanical intuition with algorithms. Felix designs and builds the interceptor himself, boards to firmware. Arsen and Ilyas handle structuring, capital, and access.
Every system in this category is told where the target is by something on the ground. Jam that, or fly under it, and the effector is blind.
Radar
Patriot. A ground radar cues the shot. Roughly $3M of interceptor against a $1,000 drone.
Radar
Fortem DroneHunter. Autonomous capture, and a ground radar still tells it where to look.
Human
Wild Hornets Sting. Proven in combat, with a pilot flying most of the intercept.
Onboard
NEVOD. The aircraft finds the target with its own camera and onboard compute.
Cost per intercept
~$3M
Patriot interceptor. One shot, one target.
$100K+
Fortem DroneHunter. Reusable, one target per sortie.
$2,100
Wild Hornets Sting. Single-use rammer.
$5
NEVOD. Net panel only, the aircraft is recovered.

Market
SOM
$250M+
US, Europe and Central Asia - defense, energy, airports.
SAM
~$2.5B
Interception & mitigation for defense and critical infrastructure, ~38% of the counter-UAS market.
TAM
$6.6B → $20B
Global counter-UAS, 2025 to 2030, at ~25% CAGR.
Everyone builds interceptors
Competition
In Ukraine alone more than twenty companies build interceptors, thousands of units a week. Every one of those units has a pilot behind it. That is the constraint we remove.
Player
Approach
Human in the loop
Where it leaves a gap
Fortem DroneHunter
Net-based interceptor; pursues and tows a single target
Supervised, US federal buyer
Reusable but one target per sortie, priced out of commercial perimeters
Wild Hornets STING
Single-use rammer, produced at very high volume
One operator per unit, airframe destroyed
Cheapest today, but every kill consumes the aircraft
RF / EW jamming
Cuts the control link
Operator crew
Nothing to cut on autonomous or fibre-optic drones
Missile air defense
Kinetic effectors
Crew, $100K to $3M per shot
Economically lost against a swarm
NEVOD
Decides on board, carrier returns and reloads
None required, optional by configuration
Nothing to jam, because nothing is transmitted
Systems once, modules forever
Business model
FPV is the way in, autonomy is the product. Where a customer has no fleet we supply the aircraft first, then sell the brain modules onto that base. Where a fleet exists we enter with autonomy directly.

For partners
Where NEVOD fits next to you
NEVOD sits behind an RF and EW screen, as the physical layer that catches what jamming lets through, including the fibre-optic and autonomous drones jamming cannot touch.
Component & hardware suppliers
Net materials, flight electronics and compute - we build in-house but source components locally and are looking for partners who can scale supply with us.
Integration partners
RF and EW vendors, radar and detection layers, site security integrators. NEVOD is the physical layer that catches what jamming cannot stop.
