Ukrainian Company Secures $15M for AI-Powered Swarm Drone Development
Swarmer, a Ukrainian company specializing in AI-powered drone autonomy, has received US$15 million in funding from US investors, marking a significant investment in Ukrainian defense technology. This investment will allow Swarmer to equip every drone with swarm capabilities, significantly expanding its operational capacity on the battlefield. Mykhailo Fedorov, Ukraine’s First Deputy Prime Minister, highlighted the effectiveness of Swarmer’s technologies, noting that these swarm capabilities facilitate the deployment of numerous drones and robots, even with limited trained operators. The funding follows earlier reports of US company Auterion supplying Ukraine with AI strike kits, also designed to enable drone swarm functionality.
