NOCTIS

NOCTIS is a Ukrainian defense-technology developer focused on counter-UAV interception, automation software, and terminal guidance for unmanned systems. Publicly available information centers on ZIRKA, a high-speed interceptor drone developed by NOCTIS with investment support and manufacturing-scaling expertise from Vyriy Industries.

NOCTIS entered public reporting through the June 2026 presentation of ZIRKA, a Ukrainian interceptor drone aimed at fast aerial threats such as Shahed-type strike UAVs. Vyriy Industries' official announcement says NOCTIS developed the product with Vyriy providing investment support and expertise for production scaling.

The public role split is unusually specific for a young wartime defense-technology team: NOCTIS is described as responsible for interception technology, software, automation, product development, sales, implementation, and support, while Vyriy Industries supports the platform as an investor and scaling partner. Ukrainian media reporting repeats that the engineering and software team drew on practical counter-air-threat experience, including input associated with the Darknode anti-Shahed battalion.

Available sources do not establish a broad NOCTIS product catalog beyond ZIRKA. The manufacturer context is therefore best read as a focused counter-drone software and interceptor-development team tied to one public platform and its documented upgrade path.

Public information on NOCTIS is concentrated in the June 2026 ZIRKA announcement and follow-on reporting. No standalone NOCTIS website, headquarters source, ownership filing, or broader product list was confirmed during this pass, so the website field points to the official Vyriy presentation for the ZIRKA partnership.
