Summary
Geran-4 Seeker, a new Shahed variant described by Ukrainian defense adviser Serhiy "Flash" Beskrestnov, can lock onto a target from about 1 kilometer away and then strike without further operator input.
Machine-vision software running on a Raspberry Pi handles target recognition, acquisition and terminal guidance, while a radio MESH modem lets a pilot steer the drone before handoff.
Several onboard cameras operate in different modes, and Beskrestnov said the Seeker package can be fitted across Geran 2-4 models rather than a single airframe.
The system is designed to hunt high-value targets such as locomotives, where Beskrestnov said low-power electronic warfare defenses may be unable to stop the final attack.
