UGV Pilot training

The front line in Ukraine has become a kill zone. The widespread use of surveillance and attack drones has made a zone several kilometres wide virtually inaccessible.

Soldiers and medics entering this area face an extremely high risk of death.

Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGVs) are taking over vital tasks in this dangerous zone.

These ground robots deliver food, ammunition and medical supplies to troops in dug-in positions but, most importantly, they evacuate wounded soldiers from the kill zone.

Protect Ukraine funded the first four UGV pilot training courses of their kind, helping bring this life-saving technology to the front line.
