Auterion, a U.S.-based leader in drone software, has successfully completed the Defense Innovation Unit’s Artemis program, unveiling a new long-range strike drone developed in partnership with Ukraine. The Artemis ALM-20, which has undergone operational testing in Ukraine, is now being offered to the U.S. Department of Defense and allied nations.
The drone boasts a range of up to 1,600 kilometers (approximately 1,000 miles) and can carry a warhead of up to 45 kilograms. Its design is aerodynamically similar to Iran's Shahed-136, a platform widely used by Russia. However, the Artemis features advanced capabilities, including an AI-powered visual navigation system and Auterion's Skynode N mission computer, which enable it to operate and strike targets with high precision in GPS-denied environments.
The project is a collaboration with an undisclosed Ukrainian hardware manufacturer, leveraging battlefield lessons to create a system designed for "mass production and rapid deployment," according to Auterion CEO Lorenz Meier.
Following successful trials in Ukraine that tested its launch, navigation, and terminal engagement capabilities, U.S. government evaluators have approved the system for broader deployment. Auterion is now establishing production lines in the United States, Ukraine, and Germany to scale up manufacturing for the U.S. and its partners.
