DOZOR AI

Name: DOZOR AI Module
Brand: VARTA

Products

Hardware and software module that autonomously detects, classifies, tracks, and engages aerial threats. Optical and thermal sensor fusion with inertial navigation. Human override authority at every stage.

Capabilities

01 / 04

SENSOR FUSION

Optical and thermal cameras fused into one picture - target detection through night, smoke, and fog.

Kill Chain

Five-step autonomous pipeline from first sensor contact to mission reset. Each stage executes in seconds. The operator retains override authority throughout.

Detection

Dual-sensor scan - optical and thermal cameras sweep the airspace. The AI identifies aerial objects against sky, terrain, and clutter. Motor heat signatures light up against cold sky in any visibility condition.

Detection

02 / 05

Typification

Neural network classifies the detected object. Enemy FPV, reconnaissance copter, loitering munition - or friendly. The system confirms threat type before any engagement decision. No misidentification. No fratricide.

03 / 05

Interception

The interceptor steers toward the designated target on an optimal engagement vector. The autopilot positions the airframe for maximum kill probability at the correct range and angle. The operator monitors or lets DOZOR navigate autonomously.

04 / 05

Hit

At engagement range the SYLA fire control board triggers barrel channels. Modified shotshell ammunition delivers a controlled pellet spread that destroys the target drone through kinetic impact. Hit confirmation is immediate - visual and thermal.

05 / 05

Return

The interceptor resumes patrol. No return to base required between kills. Remaining ammunition and battery allow multiple engagements per sortie. The system resets and scans for the next threat autonomously.

Technical Overview & Applications

DOZOR AI is VARTA's autonomous interception module. It combines dual-sensor input — high-resolution optical and thermal cameras — with onboard neural-network classification, inertial navigation for GPS-denied operation, and direct MAVLink integration with ArduPilot and PX4 autopilots.

Once deployed on an interceptor, DOZOR scans the airspace continuously. When it detects an aerial object, the classifier distinguishes threat type — enemy FPV, reconnaissance copter, loitering munition, fixed-wing UAV, or friendly platform — before any engagement decision is made. In assisted mode, DOZOR presents the target and requests approval. In fully autonomous mode, it executes the full kill chain: detect, classify, track, engage, and reset. Multiple intercepts per sortie are possible without returning to base. The operator retains override authority at every stage.

Key applications include point defense of mobile formations and fixed assets, airspace patrol in contested zones, and saturation defense against FPV kamikaze swarms. Because DOZOR is drone-agnostic and integrates through SYLA's 4-channel firing control, it plugs into existing Ukrainian FPV platforms rather than requiring purpose-built airframes.
