About GARA
Market leader in Ukraine, delivering mission-ready systems with proven results
GARA is a Ukrainian UAV manufacturer and a leader in the national market, delivering mission-ready systems built for real operational conditions.
Our flagship system, GARA ESSE, is designed as a complete field-deployable solution: VTOL configuration, electric propulsion, EO/IR capability, and customer-relevant performance parameters defined under NATO Stock Number 1550-61-017-9092.
GARA systems are combat-proven in Ukraine. Verified field reports and media coverage describe the platform’s use in real missions, including night operations and autonomous mission cycles (reconnaissance, strike, confirmation, return). We build for reliability, repeatability, and fast deployment—so crews can focus on results, not complexity.
GARA ESSE
The Battle-Proven Standard of Aerial Dominance
Advantages of GARA ESSE
Combat-proven field-deployable UAV system for strike and reconnaissance missions
The GARA ESSE is not merely a drone; it is a battle-hardened aerial ecosystem designed to dominate the modern digital battlefield. Born from the urgent requirements of the Ukrainian frontline, it has evolved into a global benchmark for multi-purpose VTOL systems. While conventional drones fail under radio-electronic pressure, the GARA ESSE remains operational, providing “surgical precision” in intelligence, surveillance, and strike missions even in environments of total radio silence.
Equipped with integrated AI target recognition, the GARA ESSE allows crews to identify and classify threats automatically—a feature that industry experts identify as a “new level of autonomy” in modern warfare. From the deep reconnaissance needs of the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) to the tactical strike missions of the National Guard of Ukraine and the National Police of Ukraine, the GARA ESSE is the trusted choice for those who cannot afford to fail—alongside other state security and defense agencies operating in real combat conditions.
Assigned a NATO Nomenclature Number (NSN): 1550 61 017 9092, confirming the system is identified and catalogued for standardized logistics and procurement—simplifying ordering, tracking, and sustainment within institutional supply chains.

The Night Hunter & Intelligent Bomber
GARA systems are optimized for the “night hunt,” delivering clear reconnaissance and confident strike performance when visibility is limited and time matters most.
GARA is more than a drone; it is an AI-powered strike platform. Integrated artificial intelligence supports autonomous target detection and classification, enabling faster decision-making and more effective missions in contested environments.
Rapid Field Deployment:
Transport-ready system architecture with straightforward setup and breakdown—transitioning from transport cases to active mission status in under 5 minutes, enabling high mission tempo without complex ground infrastructure.
Zero-Infrastructure
VTOL (vertical take-off and landing) capability eliminates the need for runways or launch infrastructure, enabling rapid deployment from virtually any location and reliable operations across varied terrain and conditions.
Precision Strike
Designed for accurate, repeatable engagement workflows—supporting target acquisition, strike execution, and post-strike confirmation within a single mission cycle, including night operations. Simultaneous release of up to 4 munitions (6 kg total payload).
Advanced Optics:
A high-precision 3-axis stabilized EO/IR gimbal with 40x optical zoom and a 3,000 m laser rangefinder—built for continuous 24/7 surveillance, clear target identification, and reliable tracking in day and night conditions.
OLENA Ground Station
A ruggedized, all-weather command hub featuring an integrated digital video system and intuitive mission-control software
