New Initiatives in Missile Manufacturing and Grant Support
According to Hrytsenko, there is currently a lack of developments in the field of ballistic and surface-to-air missiles in Ukraine. That is why Brave1 has launched grant programs to stimulate developers in this segment of weapons. Over the past two years, more than 200 innovative projects have emerged in the segment of ground robotic complexes, and there are already 500 different manufacturers working in the field of FPV drones.
“More than 10 Ukrainian companies are actively testing their missiles at testing grounds. This involves dozens of developments of cruise and surface-to-air missiles of various ranges and specifications. He added that there are currently not enough developments of ballistic and surface-to-air missiles, which is why Brave1 has initiated grant competitions for developers of such types of weapons.”
Innovations in Drone Manufacturing and the Use of AI
The Brave1 platform has conducted final tests of kamikaze drones that can overcome electronic warfare systems and strike targets at distances of over 40-50 kilometers. These technologies will soon be implemented on the front lines.
Additionally, the company Vyriy, one of the leaders in the Ukrainian drone manufacturing market, together with The Fourth Law, a leading developer of autonomy systems, has begun mass production of drones with guidance functions. The installation of artificial intelligence on these unmanned aerial vehicles increases their strike effectiveness by 2-4 times, while the cost of the product only increases by 10%.
