Dozens of foreign manufacturers of UAVs, laser weapons and missiles wanted to test their products in Ukraine – Brave1

Brave1 has already received 45 applications from foreign companies for testing within the Test in Ukraine platform. This was announced by the cluster head Andriy Hrytsenyuk during the IRON DEMO 2025 in Lviv.

According to him, the largest number of applications were submitted by manufacturers of UAVs, NRCs, and communication and navigation systems. Manufacturers of electronic warfare, laser weapons, missiles, surface drones, AI systems, and anti-drone solutions also wanted to test their products in Ukraine.

"In Ukraine, everything happens much faster: you don't have to wait months for testing permits, and feedback from technical and military experts comes almost instantly. This gives foreign companies a unique opportunity not just to test the product, but also to get real feedback and improve the technology in the shortest possible time," said the head of Brave1.

He added that the launch of Test in Ukraine is an important milestone for defense and technological cooperation between Ukraine and the EU. It means that there is a growing understanding both in Ukraine and among our country's partners that we cannot confront modern threats alone.

Recall that Ukraine introduced a platform for testing foreign defense technologies based on Brave1 in mid-July 2025. Manufacturers will be able to test products directly on site, which allows for real-time adjustments. Or entrust testing to Brave1 - specialists will independently conduct testing and provide partners with a report with the results.
