The co-founders of Uklon invested a significant amount in the Ukrainian startup Ailand Systems, which develops innovative drones for detecting mines. This investment is part of the "Unbreakable" fund's initiative to support the defense and technological industry of Ukraine.
Investment in security
Significant contribution to demining
The founders of the Uklon company invested $200,000 in the Ailand Systems project - a Ukrainian startup specializing in the creation of autonomous drones for detecting mines and other explosive objects. This investment is the second public initiative of the "Unbreakable" fund, founded by the creators of Uklon to stimulate the development of the defense and technological sector of Ukraine.
The problem of mining and its solution
According to government data, as a result of military operations, Ukraine has become the country with the largest number of mines in the world. It may take more than a decade to completely clear the territory of explosive objects. The use of Ailand Systems drones has the potential to significantly speed up this process, making it more cost-effective and safer for miners.
Innovative product ST1
Ailand Systems' flagship product is the ST1 unmanned minesweeper. This drone is capable of quickly and efficiently surveying large areas, demonstrating human-level detection accuracy. The resulting investments will be aimed at improving the technology and setting up the production of ST1, which is currently undergoing the state certification procedure.
History of Ailand Systems
Ailand Systems is a Ukrainian defense startup focusing on the development of intelligent autonomous drones for mine detection and explosive objects. Before the full-scale invasion, the team was working on a drone for phytosanitary monitoring of agricultural crops to reduce the use of toxic pesticides. With the beginning of the war, the company adapted its developments for the needs of humanitarian demining.

Wow, this is just amazing! 😱 Uklon is not only engaged in taxis, but also invests in such important projects. Drones for demining can really save many lives!
Maximilian
I agree, Oksana! This is a very smart decision. The use of drones is not only safer for sappers, but can also significantly speed up the demining process. Can you imagine how much time this will save? 🕒
Sophie
Maximilian, you are right! And another plus is cost savings. Manual demining of huge areas costs a lot of money. And with drones, the process will become much cheaper. 💰
Diego
I was impressed that the Ailand Systems team reoriented so quickly from the agricultural sector to the defense sector. This shows the flexibility of Ukrainian developers and their willingness to adapt to new challenges. Bravo! 👏
Oleksiy
But you have time to get excited! Drones, demining... It all sounds nice, but does it really work? How much more money will be thrown down the drain before they realize that the old methods are more reliable? 🙄
Oksana
Oleksiy, I understand your skepticism, but technology does not stand still. See how the world has changed in the last 20 years! If we don't try new methods, how can we evolve? 🌱
Sophie
I agree with Oksana. Besides, Oleksiy, these drones are not being developed out of thin air. They are based on previous technologies that have already proven their effectiveness in other areas. This is evolution, not revolution. 🔬
Diego
And don't forget the state certification that ST1 must pass. This is a guarantee that the technology will be thoroughly tested before use. I think this is a great example of how business can help solve important government problems. 🇺🇦
