Romanian startup develops AI-guided cruise missile

Oves Enterprise, a Romanian defense startup, has unveiled a low-cost cruise missile integrated with artificial intelligence. The system was presented at a prominent defense exhibition in Eastern Europe on May 15, 2026.

The startup describes the weapon as an AI-enabled precision strike tool. The development of the missile is intended to demonstrate how smaller national defense industries can develop high-end capabilities that were previously the exclusive domain of major global military powers.

Oves Enterprise publicly showcased the technology to highlight the feasibility of affordable, precision-guided weaponry within the region’s defense sector.
