In collaboration with the American company Palantir since June 2022, Ukraine has implemented a range of artificial intelligence-based solutions to support the Defence Forces. This was announced by Ukraine’s Minister of Digital Transformation, Mykhaylo Fedorov, following a meeting with Palantir Technologies CEO Alex Karp.
Over four years of cooperation, according to Fedorov, the partners have succeeded in:
- creating a system that provides detailed analysis of Russian air strikes against Ukraine;
- deploying AI solutions for the processing of intelligence data;
- integrating AI technologies into the planning of deep-strike operations.
“A separate initiative is Brave1 Dataroom, created in collaboration with Palantir. This is a platform where developers gain access to real-time battlefield data to train AI models,” the minister explained.
According to him, more than 100 companies are currently training over 80 models designed to detect and intercept air targets in challenging conditions.
The ministry has identified the following key objectives:
- 100% identification of air targets;
- at least 95% interception of Russian air targets;
- the use of AI solutions to predict and counter air threats;
- achieving air superiority and shifting the war onto Russian territory.
“During the winter period, Russia deployed around 27,000 Shahed-type attack drones against Ukraine. Despite this, Ukraine is steadily expanding its capabilities to detect and intercept air targets,” the Ministry of Defence noted.
Fedorov added that Ukraine would continue to deepen its cooperation with the American company. The partners will work on solutions aimed at securing a technological advantage on the battlefield.
Palantir Technologies is an American company regarded as one of the world’s leading providers of data analytics and AI solutions for defence and security. Its technologies are used by the armed forces, governments and intelligence agencies of NATO countries and the United States. The company ranks among the top 10 US technology firms, with a market capitalisation of approximately $330 billion.
