KONGSBERG and Ukrainian defence technology company DevDroid have signed a Memorandum of Understanding, paving the way for large-scale, long-term cooperation in the production of existing and development of new remotely operated robotic combat systems. The signing of the Memorandum during the Ukraine Recovery Conference highlights the growing interest of international defence companies in partnering with Ukraine’s defence technology industry and developing joint technological solutions to strengthen the security of Ukraine and Europe.
“Ukraine is shaping the future of robotic warfare. Our solutions are tested daily in real combat conditions, and our partnership with KONGSBERG creates opportunities to scale this experience and develop new robotic systems capable of meeting the challenges of the modern battlefield. Together, we will work on solutions that strengthen the capabilities of the Ukrainian Defence Forces and enhance the security of our partners. For us, this partnership is not only about technology but also about creating a new model of international defence cooperation, where Ukrainian innovations become part of the global security ecosystem,” said Yurii Poritskyi, CEO of DevDroid.
“The speed of defence technology development in Ukraine today has no equal. This is why partnerships with Ukrainian companies are an important element in building the defence capabilities of the future. Cooperation with DevDroid combines battle-proven solutions with KONGSBERG’s decades of experience in developing advanced defence systems and establishes a foundation for the joint development and production of robotic systems for Ukraine and international markets,” said Jørgen Bull, Senior Vice President, Land Systems, KONGSBERG.
DevDroid is a Ukrainian defence technology company developing robotic warfare systems that enable operators to remotely conduct and coordinate missions, reducing risks to personnel while increasing precision, autonomy, and operational safety. DevDroid systems can hold positions, support offensive operations, conduct reconnaissance, perform evacuations, and execute specialized combat missions.
