FUNDRAISE FOR THE COMBAT NEEDS AND RESEARCH WORK OF THE EXPERIMENTAL UNIT "ZLI PTAKHY"

We develop and manufacture the Backfire UAV, which will soon be put into service with the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Development and combat operations without state support require significant funds, so together with the Hero of Ukraine Foundation we are raising funds for the combat UAV systems and additional development needed to transfer the Backfire UAV to other units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

$500.000

WHAT EXACTLY ARE WE RAISING MONEY FOR AND HOW MUCH?

We are raising $500,000 for five goals:

Goal 1 — Providing the "Zli Ptakhy" unit with five Backfire systems for use in combat operations, three systems as soon as possible, and two more systems in the second stage to be provided as soon as the unit is expanded to a company.

Goal 2 — ensuring further development and implementation of changes to the design of the "Backfire" UAV based on the analysis of the effectiveness of its use in combat conditions, as well as the development of new modifications for performing other tasks.

Goal 3 — readiness to transfer the Backfire UAV to other units of the Ukrainian Defense Forces by establishing a training school for pilots from other units.

Goal 4 — providing practical expenses for the use of the Backfire UAV in combat by the joint unit "Zli Ptakhy" for three months.

Goal 5 — development of an effective, but easy to use, enemy destruction complex using FPV drones to save the lives of FPV pilots, maximize enemy losses and simplify use by automating targeting.

Project "Jack-in-the-box" — a universal multi-copter-based strike platform

We have taken into account all the advantages and effectiveness of using FPV drones to destroy enemy equipment and personnel, and decided to eliminate the inherent flaws of FPV and add innovations that can significantly change the tactics of using FPV drones to save the lives of pilots and maximize the effectiveness of the destruction.

The synergy of modern Computer Vision technologies, neural networks, and the development of proprietary hardware solutions allows us to take a new step in army robotization.
