Ostaralab, a dual-use product line for today’s battlefield

Darius Antanaïtis joined the Lithuanian company Ostara in 2015 as Business Development Director before becoming CEO two years later. He is one of the four shareholders of the new-generation start-up Ostaralab, created early 2023. Some of the concepts underlying the development of the dual products lines now offered by Ostaralab were born out of his own infantry experience and deployments in Afghanistan and Iraq. In the interview below, he explains the progress of research at Ostaralab, a young company based in Vilnius, and the strategy underpinning its development. In the first place, the Krampus Mk1 concept was born in part ("up to ten percent", says Ostaralab's CEO) from funding from the European Regional Development Fund in 2020. Three years later, Ostaralab is able to put forward a ready-to-use solution and can declare "mission accomplished" with the development of its Krampus all-terrain vehicle, a "special-purpose hybrid electric vehicle for security, defense or industrial needs".
