The Fourth Law presents a video of strikes against a full spectrum of targets — on land, water, and in the air
Kyiv, Ukraine – May 13, 2026 – The Ukrainian defense company The Fourth Law has presented a world-first exclusive video demonstrating the mass deployment of AI-powered terminal guidance on the battlefield across a full spectrum of targets: on land, on water, and in the air.
The use of the company's flagship products – the TFL-1 autonomy module and the Lupynis-10-TFL-1 unmanned aircraft system (UAS) – significantly increases the success rate of FPV drone missions, raising their cost by only 10%. This becomes possible by transferring the control over the drone in its last 500 meters of flight to an onboard computer running AI algorithms. Such a "last-mile" autonomy approach helps overcome electronic warfare (EW) jamming and radio horizon limitations, while improving pilot efficiency.
Mission demonstrations
Land:
A drone with the TFL module attacks a moving ground target at a steep angle in conditions of limited visibility.
A drone with a terminal guidance system attacks enemy heavy equipment "hidden" beyond the radio horizon – with independent confirmation of the hit.
A drone based on the TFL module successfully "engages" an enemy infantryman.
A hit by a copter dropped from a drone carrier on an enemy transport vehicle.
A nighttime hit by a drone equipped with a thermal imaging camera on enemy vehicles and infantry.
Water:
A drone based on the TFL module "engages" an enemy boat maneuvering beyond the radio horizon, under conditions of electronic warfare (EW) countermeasures, specifically the "Shtora" system – with independent confirmation of the hit.
Air:
An interceptor drone with the TFL module tracks and locks onto a "Shahed"-class aerial target.
"Artificial intelligence for the battlefield is the 'Manhattan Project' of the 21st century. Artificial intelligence in defense could cause a shift in capabilities comparable to the invention of the atomic bomb. This is the defining arms race of our time, and we cannot afford to lose this race," noted Yaroslav Azhnyuk, founder and CEO of The Fourth Law.
The TFL autonomy technology is designed for integration across various platforms. In addition to its own codified Lupinis-10 UAS, the company's AI modules have been integrated by dozens of other UAV manufacturers, including Vyriy and Ukrainian Armor. The modules can be used with various ground control stations and operate in conjunction with a wide variety of communication systems.
