Ukraine has a voracious demand for ground drones as they increasingly perform logistics, rescue and combat operations.

With ground maneuver a huge risk thanks to the ubiquity of deadly aerial drones, Ukraine is increasingly relying on uncrewed ground vehicles (UGVs) to move supplies, rescue the wounded, shoot down drones, lay mines and even fight battles. As a result, the head of the country’s defense technology incubator has been tasked with ensuring that there are enough of these systems to meet the voracious demand.

These efforts are being closely watched. Five years into an existential fight, Ukraine has become a global leader in ground drone technology. Kyiv is deploying these systems at a scale and pace that even the most advanced militaries can’t come close to keeping up with.

In an exclusive hour-long interview earlier this month, Brave1 CEO Andrii Hrytseniuk spoke with us about how Ukraine is set to produce tens of thousands of UGVs this year, how they are being used, and the importance of artificial intelligence in increasing the efficiency of these robots in combat.

This is the second of a two part interview. The first part focused on Ukraine’s interceptor drones, which you can read here.

1. Robot soldiers

is a chilling thought. Futuristic and not in a great way.

Robot evacuations is fantastic.

2. I have been reading about the use of these ground robots for some

time now. Amazing what Ukraine is innovating. One thing that bothered me in the quoted section above. .While I appreciated the wording "existential fight", the perpetrator of that fight was not mentioned.
