UFORCE

Another milestone for the UFORCE ecosystem: our Predator Remote Weapon Station has been successfully tested aboard a NATO member state's frigate. During the trials, Predator detected, tracked, and engaged both an aerial drone and an unmanned surface vessel — validating its ability to protect naval platforms against the autonomous threats now reshaping the maritime domain. Predator uses thermal and high-optics cameras, laser rangefinding, and AI-powered targeting to detect, track, and lock onto a target automatically, with the operator making the final decision to engage. Battle-proven in Ukraine since 2024, Predator neutralises up to 90% of drones at close range, engages larger targets at extended distances, and does it all using standard ammunition — bringing the cost of stopping a drone far below that of conventional air defence. It is effective across the full spectrum of UAV threats, including fiber-optic FPV drones, the threat electronic warfare can't touch. One combat-proven capability, integrated across land, sea, and air. This is what UFORCE does: turning Ukraine's battlefield experience into scalable capability for allied militaries — and helping the Alliance counter the next generation of autonomous threats.

Magura sea-to-land strike in Crimea HUR's Group 13 has destroyed a Russian "Pantsir-S1" air-defence missile-gun system (valued at ~$15M) and a military crane in temporarily occupied Crimea — using our Magura maritime platforms, configured as UAV carriers, to launch strike drones from the sea and hit targets on land. A maritime platform carrying and launching UAS to reach inland puts high-value targets on land at risk — Magura is proving that a sea platform can do far more than strike at sea. This is what the UFORCE multi-domain approach delivers: platforms that operate across sea, land, and air as one connected ecosystem, where a maritime system becomes the launch point for an aerial strike on a ground target. It's the effectiveness that comes from our systems working together — not in isolation, but as a single, combat-proven capability across domains. All credit for the operation belongs to the operators of HUR's Group 13 — among the most effective naval special forces in this war. We're proud that our platforms serve in their hands.

The Washington Post opened its feature on the future of drone warfare with a scene from our facility: a turret that swivelled, locked onto their journalist, and tracked his every move. Powered by AI. Fully automatic. That's Khyzhak — "Predator" — UFORCE's answer to the threat electronic warfare can't stop: fiber-optic FPV drones, which now cause the bulk of casualties on both sides of the front. Our Chairman Oleksiy Honcharuk put the stakes plainly to the Post: getting troops across the drone-saturated kill zone between the lines — a no-man's land up to 20 miles wide — is "a $100 million question." Khyzhak is being built to answer it. But the real lesson runs deeper than any single system. Ukraine's edge isn't its hardware — it's the speed at which that hardware evolves. Because in modern war, the side that adapts faster than its adversary can respond wins. That is what UFORCE is built around — recognised by the Post as a top defence manufacturer, delivering combat-proven systems across air, land and sea, built to evolve as fast as the battlefield does. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/dxvPnzrW

At the Aspen Security Forum earlier this month — one of the world's most influential gatherings on global security — UFORCE Chair of the Board Oleksiy Honcharuk joined the "Bear in Mind: Ukraine and Russia" panel, alongside Stephen Biegun (National Endowment for Democracy), Kaupo Rosin (Estonian Foreign Intelligence Service), and Christopher Ruddy (Newsmax), in a conversation moderated by Yaroslav Trofimov of The Wall Street Journal. Oleksiy's core argument: modern war is increasingly decided in a new dimension — time. Better systems matter — but they win only when a force can evolve them faster than the adversary adapts. That speed of adaptation is the real advantage. Unmanned Systems Forces are how a nation turns that speed into force at scale. It's the model Ukraine has proven under fire — and the model UFORCE was built to deliver. Ukraine is where the future of defence is being created. UFORCE is making it available to the free world.

UFORCE is bringing the battle-proven MAGURA to the United States, adapting its unmanned platforms for the missions that matter to America's security. In a special report, Fox News Chief National Security Correspondent Jennifer Griffin highlights the growing impact of Ukrainian unmanned systems—from drones striking targets deep inside Russia to UFORCE's MAGURA sea drone, which has helped sink Russian naval vessels and force Moscow's Black Sea Fleet from much of the Black Sea. Now, UFORCE is taking the next step to contribute to the strength of the US - Ukrainian partnership, one of the most consequential partnerships for the security of both nations: UFORCE is planning to build the MAGURA in the United States. In partnership with Portland-based RECONCRAFT, UFORCE plans to produce its combat-proven sea drone at scale for the U.S. CEO Oleg Rogynskyy explained the platform's capability: "You can have boats go out 800 nautical miles off an adversary's coast and launch small drones from there. You can strike targets at long range, really cheaply." As General Dan Caine noted, the United States has the industrial capacity to rapidly produce asymmetric, disruptive, and lethal technologies—and apply the hard-earned lessons of today's fight to the challenges of tomorrow. That's exactly what UFORCE was built to deliver.

Ukraine is redefining autonomous warfare across air, land and sea. UFORCE builds in all three. In The New York Times, Maria Varenikova and Paul Mozur report on how ground robots have gone from supply mules to holding trenches — and how Ukraine is outrunning the world's most advanced militaries in developing them. Our Chairman of the Board Oleksiy Honcharuk explained why: "Drones developed faster because they were in the hands of highly creative I.T. people. Ground robotic systems were mostly in frontline infantry units where the work is heavier and more practical — more about figuring out how to bolt things together so they work." That frontline-driven logic runs through everything UFORCE does. LIUT is our combat-proven UGV — its Predator turret engaging ground and aerial targets at ranges up to 2 km, delivering sustained fire suppression, forward observation, and counter-UAS defence. Over 1,000 enemy assets neutralised with the Armed Forces of Ukraine. It has destroyed enemy FPV drones in contested ambush, and survived four RPG strikes in a single mission while continuing to operate. Frontline ingenuity, engineered to scale. https://lnkd.in/dyQwmbBG

Last week, following a ceremony hosted by the Embassy of Ukraine in the United States, UFORCE signed a memorandum of understanding with RECONCRAFT, a leading Special Operations combatant craft manufacturer. "This partnership sets an important precedent," said Ukrainian Ambassador to the United States, Olga Stefanishyna, in an interview with the Wall Street Journal. "I am confident it will encourage many other companies to follow its example and deepen U.S.-Ukraine defense industrial cooperation." The agreement reflects a shared commitment to strengthening defence cooperation between the United States and Ukraine, while helping ensure that battle-proven Ukrainian technologies can benefit allied nations. The MAGURA family of autonomous surface vessels holds one of the most impactful and reliable combat records in modern maritime warfare, helping the Armed Forces of Ukraine drive the Russian Navy from the Black Sea. Through the partnership, UFORCE will work to make available to the United States its combat-proven autonomous systems, advanced autonomy software, and command-and-control technologies, combining Ukrainian battlefield innovation and operational experience with American industrial expertise.

UFORCE became a Founding Member of the EU–Ukraine Drone Alliance The European Commission announced the launch of the EU–Ukraine Drone Alliance — a landmark initiative designed to strengthen defence industrial cooperation between Ukraine and the European Union. We are proud that UFORCE has been selected as one of the 18 founding members of the Alliance. This is an important milestone not only for UFORCE, but for Ukraine’s defence technology ecosystem as a whole. It reflects the growing recognition that combat-proven Ukrainian innovation is becoming an essential part of Europe’s long-term security architecture. The Alliance brings together leading Ukrainian and European defence companies to accelerate joint production, technology transfer, investment, and the development of next-generation autonomous and counter-drone capabilities. As our Chairman, Oleksiy Honcharuk, said: “Being selected as a founding member of the EU–Ukraine Drone Alliance reflects the growing recognition of Ukraine’s defence technology ecosystem and its role in shaping Europe’s future security architecture. UFORCE is committed to building long-term industrial partnerships that transform battlefield experience into scalable capabilities for allied nations.” For UFORCE, this is more than participation in a new initiative. It is an opportunity to help transform Ukraine’s battlefield experience into industrial partnerships, scalable technologies, and stronger collective security for Europe and its allies.

Ukraine isn’t predicting the future of defence. It is building it. Our CEO Oleg Rogynskyy joined Tom Mackenzie on Bloomberg TV to discuss how Ukraine is scaling autonomous systems across land, sea and air. From thousands of sea drones to hundreds of thousands of aerial systems, the message was clear: mass matters, but only mass that is proven, sovereign and fully integrated will last. UFORCE systems have flown more than 250,000 missions and helped deny the Black Sea to Russian warships, and it is that battlefield proof that turns a drone into a system militaries rely on for years. As Oleg put it: "Once a system does what ours has done in combat, it becomes the one militaries build their programmes around." UFORCE is building a supply chain and portfolio that is affordable, autonomous, multi-domain, and proven under fire - giving Western allies the scale and independence they need.

War is changing faster than doctrine can keep up. In this week’s Wall Street Journal, chief foreign-affairs correspondent Yaroslav Trofimov explores how quickly modern warfare is transforming. UFORCE CEO Oleg Rogynskyy captured the core shift: "The domain is time. The point is to shorten the kill chain — removing human and manual steps — so that on every turn you reach the kill decision faster than your enemy.” That logic is behind what we build across naval and aerial unmanned systems: autonomy that compresses decision cycles, and iteration that keeps pace with an adaptive adversary. https://lnkd.in/dPVcC84e
