Counter-UAS and SHORAD (C-UAS)
Live-environment interception tactics and multi-layered defence against real-world aerial threats.
The Operational Challenge
Adversarial uncrewed aerial systems—ranging from tactical quadcopters to mass-scale loitering munitions—pose a continuous, asymmetric threat to forward formations and critical national infrastructure. Traditional air defence doctrines are frequently too slow and resource-heavy to effectively counter persistent, low-cost drone swarms.
Building the Capability
Boryviter develops dynamic, multi-layered Counter-UAS and Short-Range Air Defence (SHORAD) architectures. We shift the paradigm from sterile testing environments to live-threat interception, ensuring that mobile fire groups and air defence crews operate with absolute precision under extreme psychological and physical pressure. Our experts evaluate emerging effector technologies and formulate validated Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTPs) based on immediate battlefield feedback.
Core Domains of Expertise
Implementation across multidomain environments
Detection and Sensors
Integrating advanced early-warning architectures, including radar systems, EW/SIGINT monitoring (radio direction finding and spectrum monitoring), acoustic sensors, and alternative detection matrices.
Interceptor Drones
Tactical employment of fixed-wing and multi-rotor interceptor drones designed to neutralise adversarial UAVs mid-air.
Mobile Fire Groups
Procedural and tactical preparation for surface-to-air engagements utilising anti-aircraft machine guns, artillery systems, and Man-Portable Air-Defence Systems (MANPADS).
Integrated Security and Defence Solutions
Designing comprehensive, macro-level security architectures for the protection of urban centres and critical national infrastructure.
Impact
Live-Environment Interception Preparation
Combining protection and training within a single operational cycle.
Boryviter trains interceptor crews in conditions designed to mirror real operational scenarios as closely as possible. The value of this approach lies in the fact that it serves both protection and training at the same time: units do not merely rehearse actions under real threat conditions, but also build practical capability to counter them. Rather than relying solely on sterile training-range conditions, we replicate the tempo, uncertainty, and psychological pressure associated with responding to live aerial threats. This approach enables teams to practise detection, tracking, and engagement in a dynamic environment and to adapt tactics more rapidly to battlefield change.
Multinational Interoperability
Transferring Ukrainian experience to partners within a shared operational context.
At the request of Ukrainian military authorities, and as part of an experience-sharing initiative launched by the President of Ukraine, Boryviter has delivered this training methodology to multinational groups of military personnel from three NATO member states. This helps build a shared understanding of contemporary counter-air and counter-UAS practice and makes Ukrainian combat experience transferable to an international operational context.
