The state platform "Brave1" initiated a large-scale project "Test in Ukraine", which radically changes the approach to testing military equipment. The innovative program provides a unique opportunity for foreign companies to validate their most advanced technological solutions directly on the battlefield.
The mechanism of the program includes several key components. Manufacturers can send their latest equipment, which immediately undergoes real combat testing. In parallel with physical testing, foreign developers receive the opportunity for remote online training of Ukrainian military personnel.
Particular emphasis is placed on direct feedback from the front line. Ukrainian military will provide a detailed operational analysis of the effectiveness of each tested weapon, which significantly accelerates the process of adaptation and improvement.
Among the priority technological directions are three key areas. First – air defense and drone interception systems, which is critically important due to intense air attacks. The second direction includes artificial intelligence for automated detection and neutralization of planning aerial bombs.
The third direction covers marine drones, intelligent artillery systems, and electronic warfare technologies. These solutions have already proven their effectiveness and need further development.
Program participants have two main options for participation: direct involvement in tests or transfer of production for independent expert evaluation by the "Brave1" team.
The initiative is actively supported by the Ukrainian government and defense sector, representing an unprecedented model for rapid technological development during a military conflict.
