Corporate Profile: Fire Point Technology
Executive Summary
Fire Point Technology (operating as Fire Point and Fire Point Rocket Technologies) is an advanced Ukrainian defense technology company specializing in the design, development, and mass manufacturing of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), long-range strike systems, and rocket propulsion components. Founded in 2022 in Kyiv, Ukraine, in response to the full-scale Russian invasion, the company has rapidly scaled from a small aerospace startup into a vital cornerstone of Ukraine's domestic defense ecosystem. Fire Point is recognized for its breakthroughs in high-endurance, autonomous aerial vehicles capable of penetrating dense electronic warfare (EW) environments and executing precise deep-strike missions over strategic distances.

Core Operations: What the Company Does
Fire Point functions as a vertically integrated aerospace and military technology contractor. It focuses on closing critical capability gaps in aerial reconnaissance and long-range precision strikes by engineering systems optimized for low-cost, high-yield mass production.
1. Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) Development
The company constructs long-range loitering munitions and tactical unmanned aerial systems. Rather than relying on commercial off-the-shelf components, Fire Point develops proprietary airframes using radar-absorbent composite materials, custom internal combustion powerplants, and resilient electronic architecture designed specifically to resist signal jamming.
2. Rocket Propulsion and Solid-Fuel Chemical Engineering
Through its specialized division, Fire Point Rocket Technologies, the company manufactures its own solid-fuel rocket motors and propellant components. By securing domestic production loops and partnering with international entities (including building strategic infrastructure in Denmark), Fire Point ensures a steady supply of solid propellants for its advanced missile and drone booster programs.
3. EW-Resilient Guidance Architecture
A primary operational hurdle for modern UAVs is the presence of intense global positioning system (GPS) jamming and spoofing. Fire Point engineers in-house autonomous navigation suites. These packages blend advanced inertial guidance systems (INS) with machine-learning-driven optical terrain-mapping and multiple redundant sensor arrays to keep platforms on target without requiring continuous satellite connectivity.
4. International Defense System Integration
Fire Point collaborates with tier-one European defense organizations to integrate Western sensor networks into mobile air defense frameworks. An example is its multi-national partnership to build the "FREYJA" Ballistic Missile Defence system, combining Fire Point's custom missile platforms with advanced Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) radar arrays.
Primary Product and Tech Offerings
The Fire Point catalog spans tactical UAV platforms, strategic one-way attack drones, and ground-launched missile technology.
FP-1 Deep-Strike UAV
- Description: A propeller-driven, long-range, one-way attack drone designed for strategic deep-penetration missions. It uses a solid rocket booster for rapid, unassisted "hot launches" off mobile guide rails.
- Payload Capacity: Features a modular payload bay that supports fragmentation or shaped-charge warheads weighing between 60 kg and 120 kg.
- Operational Range: Possesses an effective firing range of up to 1,600 kilometers.
- Special Variants: Can be configured as an FPV carrier, mounting twin, deployable First-Person View (FPV) strike drones on its wings to engage secondary tactical targets mid-flight.
FP-2 Mid-Range Strike UAV
- Description: A tactical, mid-range strike drone engineered to support operational-level battlefield needs and frontline interdiction.
- Application: Balanced to provide higher maneuvering capabilities and higher terminal speeds over shorter operational distances, making it highly effective against armored columns, logistics depots, and reinforced field fortifications.
FP-5 "Flamingo" Cruise Missile
- Description: A heavy, ground-launched unmanned aerial vehicle and cruise missile hybrid built for long-distance stand-off strikes against high-value strategic installations.
- Specifications: Possesses a total weight profile of approximately 6,000 kg, equipped with a massive 1,150 kg payload warhead.
- Operational Range: Engineered with advanced terrain-following navigation mechanics to travel up to 3,000 kilometers under full electronic denial conditions.
FP-7 and FP-9 Ballistic Missiles
- FP-7 System: A highly mobile, ground-launched ballistic missile system crafted using lightweight carbon-fiber airframes. It delivers a 150 kg payload to ranges up to 200 km, acting as an affordable alternative to traditional guided artillery systems.
- FP-9 System: A heavy tactical ballistic missile architecture built to transport payloads up to 800 kg over a target engagement range of 855 km. The platform is designed to plug directly into unified allied command and reconnaissance networks.
