Terma Group, Denmark’s largest defense technology company, announces a new partnership with Ukrainian drone and camera manufacturer Odd Systems to co-develop a low-cost, AI-powered autonomous drone interceptor.
Terma will supply its high-end sensor and situational awareness technologies to Odd Systems' combat-proven drone platforms. The collaboration brings together the best of Western defense engineering with Ukrainian battlefield innovation.
As Denmark’s largest defense company operating across air, sea, land, and space, Terma brings decades of expertise in mission-critical technologies. Terma is known for its strength in systems integration, advanced sensors, electronic warfare, and surveillance solutions.

By merging these competencies, the two companies will develop a robust suite of drone interceptors capable of identifying, tracking, and autonomously neutralizing diverse aerial threats - from FPV and ISR copters (e.g., Mavic) to fixed-wing reconnaissance and long-range strike drones like the Shahed.
“We are proud to partner with Odd Systems, whose innovation and battlefield-proven platforms are a testament to the strength of Ukrainian engineering. They have demonstrated extraordinary capabilities under extreme conditions and at a pace and cost unmatched by Western manufacturers. Together, we can integrate best-in-class technology with agile, combat-adapted drone platforms to accelerate the evolution of future air combat capabilities. Collaborating with them is the smartest and most effective way forward,” said Filip Rensch-Jacobsen, Vice President at Terma.
Also at Odd Systems, the team is enthusiastic about the collaboration and the strategic value it brings.
“It is our pleasure to work with Terma, a team so professional and so dedicated to making the sky above Europe safe from any intruding drones. We look forward to developing a robust autonomous interceptor platform. Such cooperation between the teams from Ukraine and the EU are crucial for the future of European security,” said Yaroslav Azhnyuk, co-founder of Odd Systems.
As the nature of warfare changes, so too does the architecture of defense. Terma’s approach views drones not merely as weapons, but as modular platforms - similar to fighter aircraft—where mission effectiveness depends entirely on the integrated capabilities. With decades of experience delivering sensor and mission system solutions for platforms such as the F-16 and F-35, Terma now brings these same advanced technologies to drone warfare.
This collaboration also underscores the importance of European defense cooperation and technological resilience. It is a step towards a more agile, secure, and interconnected defense landscape for Europe.
