PDKINEMATICS is a Lithuanian defence engineering company headquartered in Vilnius that builds GNSS-independent precision guidance systems for the UAV era. Founded in 2022 by Rapolas Markevičius (a private equity professional turned defence entrepreneur) and Simonas Stasevičius (an aerospace engineer), the company was born as a direct response to Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, where the absence of affordable precision guidance technology on the battlefield was identified as a critical gap.

The company's flagship product, Gannet, is a low-SWaP-C (small size, low weight, minimal power draw, low cost) precision-guided munition kit designed to attach to standard bomber-class multi-rotor UAVs. Gannet operates entirely without satellite navigation — making it effective in GPS-jammed and electronically contested environments — and enables operators to engage targets with sub-meter accuracy from altitudes of up to 700 metres, roughly six times higher than unguided munitions allow. The system is drone-agnostic and can be integrated across diverse UAV platforms in under four weeks. Alongside Gannet, PDKINEMATICS is developing proximity fuzes for armoured-target engagement and a suite of counter-electronic-warfare components.

The company positions itself as a component supplier rather than a platform builder, selling precision guidance systems to UAV manufacturers (including Bavovna.ai and Italy's SiraLab) and to armed forces that deploy them. Gannet has been battlefield-validated in active front-line operations in Ukraine and was selected for Iron Wolf 2026, Lithuania's largest international military exercises. A NATO member-state naval deployment is reported to be in the pipeline. As of mid-2026, PDKINEMATICS operates with a team of approximately 18 engineers and is scaling manufacturing across the Baltic region to supply NATO-aligned defence supply chains.
