Granta X or Granta X-Wing is a Lithuanian-developed vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) loitering munition developed by Granta Autonomy, a Lithuanian defense technology company.
History Granta Autonomy began developing the X-Wing in response to battlefield demands for precision loitering munitions that could be deployed by small infantry units without specialized launch equipment.
The project followed the company’s earlier UAV platforms, such as the Granta GA-10FPV-AI quadcopter loitering munition and the Hornet XR reconnaissance drone.A NATO drone maker is testing its weapons in Ukraine — with its CEO actually heading to the battlefield to see it firsthandBattlefield Experience And Advanced Software Build Better Drones

Design Designed for precision strike missions, the X-Wing combines quadcopter-style vertical launch with efficient fixed-wing flight, offering front-line units a portable, modular, and easy-to-deploy loitering munition system.
Designed with cost-effective mass production in mind, the X-Wing can fly up to 50 kilometers (31 miles) with artificial intelligence equipped for autonomous flights. The drone is also loaded with a warhead for eliminating different types of targets.
