What UFORCE does

UFORCE is a UK-incorporated (UFORCE GLOBAL LTD, registered January 2025) defense technology company that consolidates nine Ukrainian combat-proven defense companies under a single platform to deliver integrated unmanned systems across air, land, and sea to allied governments. The company was founded in 2022 by Oleg Rogynskyy (a Ukrainian-born, US-based founder of People.ai) and former Ukrainian Prime Minister Oleksiy Honcharuk, with Sir Ben Wallace (former UK Secretary of State for Defence) on the board and Sean Plankey (former US DHS/CISA senior official) appointed U.S. CEO in May 2026. Its portfolio spans the Magura USV family (combat-proven against Russian naval and aerial targets, with the new NDAA-compliant MV7 for open-ocean operations), the Nemesis strike UAV family (120,000+ combat missions), LIUT and D-series UGVs, Bucha kamikaze and BULLET/Sting/MEROPS/Bagnet counter-UAS interceptors, and the Predator RWS — all governed by the NATO-validated UFORCE C2 (SICH) multi-domain command-and-control and autonomy software platform and connected via the UFORCE C2 Mesh resilient networking layer. The C2 platform is STANAG 4817 compliant, integrates with Delta COP, NATO C2, and ATAK, and exposes an SDK plus StarMod hardware adapter so that third-party UxV platforms can plug into the ecosystem.

UFORCE makes money by selling turnkey multi-domain combat systems directly to defense ministries and armed forces under a 'Neoprime' model, combined with sovereign in-country manufacturing across 15+ locations in 6 European allied countries and forthcoming U.S. production. Revenue mechanics span hardware sales (USVs, UAVs, UGVs, RWS, interceptors), software/SDK licensing (UFORCE C2, StarMod), and government manufacturing-and-sustainment contracts. The company reports nine-figure bookings in 2025 with ~450-500% YoY growth, claims to be already profitable, and is expanding into the U.S., Gulf, Japanese, and Taiwanese defense markets. It is currently valued at over $1B following a March 2026 $50M seed round co-led by Shield Capital and Lakestar.

Revenue model

1. Turnkey combat system sales ('Neoprime' model): Direct sale of complete, integrated combat systems (air + sea + land + C2 + autonomy) to government customers. Bookings of nine figures in 2025 with ~450-500% YoY growth. Reported as profitable with hundreds of millions of dollars in contracted orders.
2. UFORCE C2 software and SDK licensing: Software stack (C2, C2 Mesh, SDK) and APIs sold/integrated to allied militaries and third-party platform vendors. RESTful and WebSocket APIs, MAVLink extensions, STANAG 4817, CoT/ATAK, and StarMod hardware adapter enable OEM-style embedding into allied C2 ecosystems.
3. U.S. government and allied defense contracts (manufacturing + sustainment): U.S. CEO Sean Plankey leads government engagement, strategic partnerships, and establishment of U.S.-based manufacturing. First American-made USVs expected in summer 2026, implying a manufacturing/services contract structure with the U.S. Department of Defense and allied militaries.
4. Investment capital (seed funding): $50M seed round co-led by Shield Capital and Lakestar with participation from Ballistic Ventures and Iron Wolf Capital used to scale production, R&D, and allied market expansion.

Core offering

UFORCE designs, manufactures, and delivers turnkey combat-proven unmanned systems across air, land, and sea domains (Magura USVs, Nemesis UAVs, LIUT UGVs, Predator RWS, Bucha interceptors) integrated by its UFORCE C2 multi-domain command-and-control and autonomy software platform. Products are sold directly to allied government defense ministries and armed forces, with sovereign in-country manufacturing, sustainment, and operator training. The portfolio includes proprietary GPS-denied autonomy, swarm networking, and a four-stage counter-UAS kill chain validated at NATO exercises.

Product overview

UFORCE is a single integrated platform-plus-modules architecture unifying combat-proven unmanned systems across air, land, sea, and command & control. The core product lines are the Magura USV family (with the new MV7 next-generation open-ocean variant), Nemesis multirotor UAV family (with R18, R34, R36 and Bucha/SEASTRIKE variants), LIUT/D21 ground UGV family, Predator RWS remote weapon stations, and BUCHA interceptor drones — all governed by the UFORCE C2 (SICH/C2) multi-domain command-and-control and autonomy platform and connected via the UFORCE C2 Mesh networking layer. Counter-UAS defense is delivered through a four-stage intercept kill chain (Early Warning → Guidance → Last Mile → Terminal Kill) that integrates partner systems (BULLET, Fortress, Sting, MEROPS, Bagnet, Project Octopus, AIM-9 Sidewinder) via the UFORCE C2 Ground Station. The portfolio is designed as a battle-tested, integrated autonomous stack refined under real-world combat conditions, with the UFORCE C2 SDK and StarMod adapter enabling third-party platforms to plug into the ecosystem.
