Kyiv-based startup Fourth Law has secured investment from venture funds and investors in Europe, the U.S., and Canada. The company has unveiled its flagship product — the TFL-1 autonomous control module for FPV drones, which allows artificial intelligence to take over control during the final few hundred meters of flight.
According to the startup, the module significantly increases mission efficiency by enabling drones to bypass radio-electronic interference and operate beyond the radio horizon. The system is already being used on the frontline by Ukraine’s Armed Forces, including the 58th Independent Motorized Infantry Brigade, where it helps drone pilots hit targets more accurately under difficult conditions.
In addition to the module, Fourth Law has developed the Lupinis-10-TFL-1 system — a swarm of 100 autonomous FPV drones capable of carrying payloads up to 3.5 kg and striking targets at a range of up to 30 kilometers. The system also includes a ground control station and supplementary equipment.
The company plans to gradually improve the drones’ autonomy — from assisting in the final flight stage to enabling fully autonomous takeoff and landing. They also aim to integrate their technology not only into quadcopters but also into fixed-wing drones, missiles, and naval drones.
Following successful deployment with the Ukrainian military, Fourth Law intends to expand into civilian applications, where autonomous systems could support logistics, construction, agriculture, and other sectors.
