From private equity to precision strikes: How Lithuania's PDKinematics is rethinking drone warfare
PDKINEMATICS was founded in late 2022 by Rapolas Markevičius, who transitioned from private equity to defence technology in response to Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine. The company brings together engineers with space industry backgrounds to develop precision-guidance systems enabling smaller drones to operate effectively in contested environments. Markevičius trained as a reserve officer at the Lithuanian Military Academy before launching the venture, driven by a desire to strengthen European defence capabilities.
