On October 3–4, the U-Force team took part in the first international investment summit Defense Tech Valley, dedicated to Ukrainian defense innovations. The event brought together representatives of the defense tech industry, investors, and military experts to discuss new technologies and prospects for cooperation.
The summit brought together over 1,300 participants, including more than 100 Ukrainian and international investors, over 250 developer teams, and 28 teams that presented their projects to investors. This provided a unique opportunity to explore innovations and attract investment to Ukraine’s defense sector.
One of the key developments presented by our team was a training complex for mobile air‑defense teams based on the Browning M2 platform and employing VR technologies. This simulator is part of a large‑scale project aimed at improving the training effectiveness of Ukraine’s Defence Forces. The complex enables the practice of air‑defense skills in conditions closely approximating real combat, significantly increasing the readiness of military units. The simulator received positive feedback from military experts and investors, underscoring its importance for modernizing the training of mobile air‑defense teams. It is not merely a training tool but a critically important element in strengthening defence capability thanks to its configurable flexibility, realistic simulation of combat situations, and the ability to train under varied weather conditions and times of day.
The Defense Tech Valley Summit not only provided an opportunity to showcase our developments but also served as a key platform for establishing contacts with potential investors. We are actively advancing our project, which envisions the creation of an entire series of innovative simulators for various units of the Ukrainian Defence Forces. U-Force aims to equip the Ukrainian army with the most advanced technologies for military training, and this air-defense simulator is just the beginning of a comprehensive program to enhance training systems.
