Valkyrie Dynamics has raised €1 million in Pre-Seed funding. Paris-based venture studio Hexa led the round. The Ukrainian-Lithuanian defense hardware company builds miniature radars for low-cost drone interceptors.


Funding and investors

The round included participation from defense tech angel investors. Hexa Sprint Defense also accepted Valkyrie as its first Ukrainian team. The money will support manufacturing of the first radar seeker version.

Company context

Valkyrie was founded in 2025 by Marcin Kovalevskij, an engineering physicist. The company is headquartered in Lithuania and runs its R&D lab in Kyiv. It works directly with Ukrainian frontline operators and interceptor partners.

Heimdall technology

Heimdall is a lightweight radar seeker that sits in a drone interceptor's nose cone. It weighs about 100 grams and has a target price below €300 per unit. It provides a radar view in the final 100 to 500 meters so operators can track targets in bad weather.


The company plans to develop next-generation seekers with longer range and wider field of view. It also aims to establish European technical integration hubs in late 2026. Future products may bring the same radar technology to ground vehicles and other unmanned platforms.
