About this report
PDKinematics is a Lithuanian defense deep-tech startup that has developed an intelligent guidance kit for air-delivered munitions, known as “Padūkėlis” . Introduced in mid-2025, Padūkėlis offers a self-contained precision-strike solution that operates without satellite navigation signals .
Designed for deployment from unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), helicopters, and fixed-wing platforms , the system addresses the growing need for GPS-resistant guidance amid pervasive electronic warfare. The appearance of Padūkėlis represents a rare indigenous European effort to match or replace foreign technologies in this domain, and thus merits close scrutiny.
Key questions this report answers
- How does PDKinematics' Padukelis guidance kit achieve self-contained precision strike without satellite navigation signals amid pervasive electronic warfare?
