DroneShield expands Ukrainian presence in counter-drone drive
By APDR -21/08/20252080
MSHD 2973 DigitalDisplay AUDefence 728x90DroneShield announced the expansion of its support for Ukrainian customers via a newly established, undisclosed local partnership. Since the onset of hostilities, DroneShield has been a trusted CUAS provider in Ukraine, with its battle-tested systems defending military, infrastructure, and civilian assets against evolving aerial threats.
Drawing on 11 years as a technology pure play in the CUAS sector, DroneShield has leveraged operational feedback from Ukraine to drive rapid advances in artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) within its detection and mitigation systems. This real-world experience, under the most challenging conditions, has materially sharpened DroneShield’s AI—increasing detection speed, accuracy, and adaptability in the face of novel drone tactics.
“The conflict in Ukraine has crystallised what forward-looking militaries already recognised: the need for advanced, adaptive counter-drone solutions is now a matter of national resilience, not optional investment,” said Oleg Vornik, Chief Executive Officer of DroneShield. “Our work in Ukraine, while only one element of our global operations, has proven pivotal in advancing the sophistication of our AI, with profound benefits for all our users worldwide.”
This new partnership will ensure DroneShield’s Ukrainian customers receive robust local support, rapid technology updates, and ongoing intelligence sharing with headquarters—while maintaining operational security through strict confidentiality.
DroneShield reiterated that Ukraine, while symbolically significant and technologically vital, represents a relatively small share of a broad global market. Active across more than 40 countries including major deployments in Europe, the Americas, and Asia, DroneShield continues to meet surging demand for its AI-powered counter-UAS solutions driven by a rising global recognition: no allied nation can afford to wait for conflict before adopting resilient, next-generation drone defence
