Ghost Dragon Validated by 3rd Assault Brigade
KrattWorks
Combat use with the 3rd Assault Brigade turns Ghost Dragon from a drone spec sheet into a field proven procurement reference. That matters because frontline units near Izium operate under heavy jamming, so a drone that still finds targets and sends back coordinates there is proving the exact thing NATO buyers worry about most. It also supports KrattWorks selling Ghost Dragon as a practical alternative to cheap commercial quadcopters that fail once GPS and radio links degrade.1 2 3 4
- The technical point is not just that Ghost Dragon flies, but that its useful work happens onboard. Agmis built computer vision that runs on the aircraft itself, so the drone can detect vehicles, personnel, and fires locally and transmit light data packets instead of full video, which is much more survivable on weak or jammed links.2 3
- The 3rd Assault Brigade delivery gives a concrete battlefield reference. Estonian industry groups reported that five Ghost Dragon drones were handed to the brigade for combat areas near Izium, and KrattWorks describes Ghost Dragon as deployed in Ukraine alongside other eastern flank states, showing the product has moved from testing into repeated military fielding.4 1
- This is also the business model proof point. KrattWorks sells Ghost Dragon systems for roughly €15,000 to €25,000 and wins fixed price defense contracts, similar in structure to larger autonomy companies like Anduril and Shield AI, but aimed at the squad and platoon level where buyers need many low cost ISR drones rather than a few exquisite systems.3
The next step is turning combat validation into standard issue adoption across NATO’s eastern flank. If Ghost Dragon keeps showing that onboard autonomy works when GPS and comms do not, KrattWorks can expand from one off frontline deliveries into larger recurring orders for reconnaissance fleets, software upgrades, and adjacent strike and target drone programs.1 3
