Problem
Traditional defense systems built for slower, more predictable conflicts cannot keep pace with modern warfare, where unmanned systems and rapid iteration cycles are rewriting the rules of engagement. Heavier, costlier platforms are increasingly vulnerable and inefficient against adaptive, technology-driven opponents.
Solution
UFORCE provides battle-proven unmanned systems across air, land, and sea, built from thousands of combat missions in Ukraine. The company replaces legacy systems with platforms that are available today and require no further combat validation. UFORCE integrates air, land, sea, and C2/autonomy into a unified combat system, delivering deterrence at a fraction of traditional cost, including denying an entire sea for less than the cost of one frigate. It offers an open C2 architecture and sovereign production capabilities to support in-country manufacturing, assembly, and training. All systems are deployed and effective within days, backed by validated performance in real operations and exercises like REPMUS 2025.
Target Audience
Primary customers are national defense forces and allied military organizations seeking combat-proven unmanned systems with rapid deployment timelines and sovereign production options.
