Details: The document lays the groundwork for the joint production of the Maul unmanned ground vehicle and the development of next-generation robotic systems.
"Maul ground drone is a system developed based on real battlefield experience and is continuously improved through feedback from military users. Together with NJORD Technology AB, we plan to establish joint production of the Maul platform in Sweden, which will expand manufacturing capacity and accelerate the delivery of robotic systems," AIDronesUA said.
The company said it remains focused on supporting Ukraine's defence forces, adding that most systems will be used for logistics tasks, casualty evacuation and reducing risks for service members.
Meanwhile, Njord Technology noted that the partnership will help strengthen industrial ties between Sweden and Ukraine.
"The combination of Ukrainian practical experience and Swedish engineering expertise will enable the creation of modern robotic solutions that enhance mission effectiveness and help save lives. This partnership will also foster industrial cooperation between Sweden and Ukraine and create new opportunities for technological development and innovation," the Swedish company said.
For reference: Maul is a multi-purpose platform used for casualty evacuation (CASEVAC), logistics support, ammunition delivery, cargo transport and special operations in challenging conditions.
AIDronesUA is a Ukrainian developer and manufacturer of robotic systems and unmanned technologies. Njord Technology is a Swedish company specialising in autonomous solutions for a safer future.
The cost of a single Maul ranges from UAH 1 million to 1.5 million (approx. US$22,200-US$33,300), depending on the type of communication system used.
