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. It was unveiled on 28 May 2025 at the IDET 2025 international defense exhibition in Brno, Czech Republic. [1] 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.

Development and design

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. [2] [3]

The X-Wing was publicly introduced during IDET 2025, where it was presented as a prototype undergoing final evaluation before potential mass production.
