Our project is supported not only by private venture funds, but also by the state in the form of the defense technology cluster Brave1.

We applied to participate in the Brave1 cluster almost immediately after its launch. Our ST1 autonomous mine and explosive ordnance detection project was highly praised by experts, which allowed us to receive grant support twice: $5000 in September 2023 and $25000 in May 2024. This financial support allowed for the purchase of equipment necessary for research and production, as well as contributed to the expansion of the team.

Certainly, these funds helped improve the characteristics of our product, which was reflected in further successful investments from private funds.

Besides financial support, we are grateful to Brave1 for assistance in finding partners, testing grounds, and overall networking. Finally, it was Brave1 who helped us connect with the Nezlamni fund, founded by the creators of UKLON, with whom we recently closed a $200K investment deal.

We are grateful to the state for promoting the development of defense projects through the creation of the Brave1 cluster.

Together to victory! 

Four venture funds and the CEO of Ailand Systems – that was the lineup of the investment panel during the Precision hackathon by BRAVE1, kindly moderated by Artem Moroz. Dmytro Titov was invited as a representative of the company that pitched to all four funds and successfully closed a deal with two of them (D3 and Nezlamni).

Dmytro’s key point was: “to achieve success as a country, we need to fight not only for investment itself, but also for investment specifically into Ukrainian jurisdiction, rather than in Delaware or EU countries. This is especially important for defence technologies. Diia City has a great tax and legal system, even compared to other popular jurisdictions. Diia City is cool!”

The hackathon was inspiring and encouraging: 48 teams presented their developments, of which 12 innovative solutions received grants for further development.

We are happy to participate in defence-oriented activities and, together with other innovators, develop the Ukrainian defence tech sector.

The hackathon was organized by the defence tech cluster BRAVE1 with the support of the defence innovation accelerator Defence Builder, D3, Uklon, Kyiv School of Economics, the business leaders’ club CEO Club Ukraine, and the company TAF Drones.

We are pleased to announce our new investors! The team of co-founders of the Uklon service, Dmytro Dubrovsky, Sergiy Smus, Victoria Dubrovska, and Vitaliy Dyatlenko, invested $200,000 in Ailand Systems. These funds will be used for further technology advancement and production scaling.

“We constantly talk about drones and their importance. But in addition to combat models, we also need to think about important humanitarian missions, such as demining. Ailand Systems is a great project that has incredible development prospects. We are happy to join and invest in the development of our common security,” said Dmytro Dubrovsky, co-founder of the Nezlamni Foundation. 

We are grateful for your support!  We believe that together we will be able to significantly increase Ukraine’s defense capability.

We are pleased to announce that we have been selected to receive funding from the Google for Startups Ukraine Support Fund! Our company will receive funding as well as ongoing Google mentorship and product support. This will help us to further improve the technology to save lives and clear Ukrainian land of explosive objects. Thank you, Google!

Last Tuesday we visited the Defence Industry Diplomatic Rounds in Kyiv where speakers shared their vision on how to facilitate the cooperation between Western and Ukrainian companies in defence tech, what platforms and events their countries are offering now.

Between sessions we had a chance to present our project to diplomatic attaches of the U.S., Canada, Netherlands and Denmark. All countries expressed strong interest in our tech. Denmark is particularly interested in emerging demining technology as it takes care of the demining of the Mykolaiv region right now.

Appreciate U.S.-Ukraine Business Council (USUBC) for the invitation and the chance to be a part of such an interesting event.

Last week, our CEO, Dmytro Titov, was invited to the fourth session of the Ukrainian Defence Industrial Base Forum, “Drones: Delivering Victory”, in London, organized by the Strategy Council and the law firm Kinstellar.

Together with such speakers as Steve Priestley, Vice President of International Business Development at Tetra Tech, and Simon Davison, CEO of CreoPlan, Dmytro Titov shared his vision of the future of demining and the general use of drones.

“The current level of drone technology is sufficiently developed to be used for landmine detection. It just got mature enough to solve this kind of task. The final solution, applicable at large scale, will emerge in the coming years. It will make the overall demining process faster, cheaper and safer” – Dmytro believes.

The conference was highly valuable for us and for our victory and future peace. Huge thanks to all organizers of the event and especially to Eveline Buchatskiy.
