Cutting-edge technologies in UAVs, UGVs and electronic warfare systems. Features of use in frontline operations

Ukrainian forces struck the Saratov, Novokuibyshevsk, Afipsky and “Kirishi Oil Refinery” plants, demonstrating the effectiveness of drone attacks. Globally, several new solutions were presented: Poland’s PLargonia, China’s GJ-11, Turkey’s ASELFLIR600 for Bayraktar Akınci, Britain’s Interceptor MR by MARSS, France’s Aarok by Turgis & Gaillard, the US Vectis by Lockheed Martin, as well as a UK agreement to produce Ukrainian drones. In Ukraine, key highlights included Athlon Avia with the upgraded Furia, Ukrspecsystems with a project in Eastern England, Altair Technologies with THOR OPERATOR, VARTA with the autonomous Dozor AI, and TAF Industries reaching a global level. In the UGV field, notable developments came from Bufalo, Milrem Robotics with THeMIS, and Rheinmetall with Mission Master CXT. In the EW domain — Ukraine’s Veres-2 by Ukrspetsconsulting, the centralized system of the Air Assault Forces under Viktor Kordon, and the advancement of counter-drone and counter-Kinzhal missile systems.
