Ukraine has unveiled a new TFL Anti-Shahed module capable of automatically directing interceptor drones against Shahed drones, widely used by Russia.

The system operates in conjunction with the Kurbas-640a thermal camera, identifying targets through artificial intelligence that analyzes movement, thermal signature, and other criteria. Once an enemy drone is detected, the system highlights the target with a green outline and maintains tracking without interfering with flight.

Developed by the companies The Fourth Law and Odd Systems, the module operates at altitudes of up to 5,000 meters and has a detection range between 50 and 1,000 meters, depending on weather conditions. With an estimated accuracy of 80%, it allows the pilot to retain control over the interception direction, while the system handles stabilization and target tracking.

The Fourth Law also plans to expand the device’s capabilities, including fully autonomous guidance and an automatic attack decision mechanism. The complete package with camera costs approximately US$ 800, while the standalone module is priced at around US$ 300.

The announcement comes as Ukrainian manufacturers advance mass production of the Octopus interceptor drone.
