Strategic Partnerships: How Collaboration Accelerates the Defense Tech Frontier In the defense industry, no single company can be equally effective at everything. Specialization and the synergy of expertise are the primary ways to deliver high-quality, battle-ready solutions to the Armed Forces of Ukraine at scale. A prime example of this synergy is the partnership between DevDroid and Rovertech LLC. By integrating Rovertech's reliable Zmiy logistics platform with our Wolly 12.7 combat module – all powered by the DroidBox control system from DevDroid – we developed the Zmiy Droid 12.7 strike complex. This project progressed from initial concept to official codification in just 5 months. Integration is the true key to success. Each partner focuses on their core expertise: our colleagues at Rovertech produce one of the most durable chassis on the market, built on direct feedback from veterans and active combat units. DevDroid, in turn, provides the intellectual core of the system via the DroidBox. This allows a single operator to manage both platform movement and machine gun fire through a unified interface, utilizing automated target-tracking algorithms. At DevDroid, we are convinced that the UGV market must evolve through an openness to integration. When one manufacturer produces a high-quality platform and another delivers a sophisticated control system or combat module, the army receives a finished product much faster. This cooperation accelerates innovation and enhances mission effectiveness, where the ultimate KPI is the lives of our defenders.

Rovertech presented innovative solutions for humanitarian demining in Tokyo On October 22-23, the Ukraine Mine Action Conference (UMAC-2025) was held in Tokyo. During the event, 11 Ukrainian and 13 Japanese manufacturers presented their own innovative solutions. The Rovertech team was among them. The event focused on real technologies that have already shown their effectiveness in the process of clearing Ukraine of explosive objects. Rovertech presented at UMAC-2025 a model of its own innovative deminer and also a prototype of an armored mower, which currently undergoing active testing. The mower is mounted on the armored UGV ZMIY Logistic as a special modification. It is capable of clearing the area from obstacles such as tall grass and thickets, giving sappers better access to the area. The mower is easy to use and resistant to mines. It was designed specifically for clearing the area before demining, taking into account the Ukrainian landscape and vegetation, and is therefore maximally adapted to the real working conditions in which sappers work today. “The pace of humanitarian demining in our country directly determines how fast and effective the reconstruction will be. Japan has extensive experience in post-war reconstruction and high technological potential. Japan is also among the international leaders when it comes to supporting demining in Ukraine. We were glad to have the opportunity to tell our Japanese partners about ZMIY, and how by combining it with a mower we can achieve even greater results. It was a valuable experience exchange, and we would definitely like to establish cooperation with Japanese companies in the future to further improve our technologies. We are sincerely grateful to the Ministry of Economy, Environment and Agriculture of Ukraine and personally to Minister Oleksii Sobolev and the Deputy Minister Ihor Bezkaravainyi for the invitation, and to the Government of Japan for its dedicated support of Ukraine. Being among those present at such an important event for demining in Ukraine is a great honor for our team and a significant distinction for our products,” said Borys Drozhak, co-founder of Rovertech. During the event, Rovertech also held a series of meetings with potential partners and Japanese government organizations with the aim of opening joint ventures or obtaining a license in the Asian market. Ukraine Mine Action Conference 2025 (UMAC 2025) is the main international platform where the future of a safe Ukraine is being shaped through the experience exchange, innovation and the creation of new partnerships.

Rovertech Announces Openness to European Market and Joint Venture and Co-Product Venture Collaboration The 3rd International Defense Industry Forum, DFNC3, took place in Kyiv in the beginning of October. Rovertech participated in the event, presenting its two key developments during a panel dedicated to unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs): 📌 Reusable armored mine clearance vehicle “ZMIY” 📌 Logistics platform “ZMIY Logistic” ➡️ During the forum, the Rovertech team also announced its readiness to engage in joint venture and co-product venture collaborations. Company representatives immediately held several meetings with potential partners and investors, showcasing the capabilities of their line of armored UGVs. Both UGVs presented by the company at DFNC3 are already actively operating on the Ukrainian frontline. Borys Drozhak, Rovertech’s co-founder, spoke about this during his panel appearance. “The primary purpose of both UGVs is to save human lives. After all, safe and rapid logistics at the frontline are simply impossible if the territories are mined. ‘ZMIY’ can withstand the explosion of an anti-tank mine and is currently the only deminer capable of neutralizing a PFM mine. This makes it well-suited for the real operational conditions it was designed for,” said Borys Drozhak. He emphasized that “ZMIY Logistic”, which is now frequently used to evacuate the wounded, can reduce personnel losses by up to 30%. At the same time, the “ZMIY” demining vehicle enables effective clearance of paths for both military and civilians — a capability that is vital not only during offensive operations but also during evacuations. 👉🏻 At DFNC3, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy also announced the launch of a controlled export program for Ukrainian weapons, titled “Zbroya”, which will allow domestic manufacturers to enter the international market. Rovertech is among the companies that have expressed readiness to pursue such opportunities and to collaborate with foreign buyers and investors. “Joining the President of Ukraine’s program ‘Zbroya’ is extremely important for us. For Rovertech, it is a high-level recognition of our technologies at the state level — proof that they are capable of entering the international market and a testament to their high quality, reliability, and efficiency under modern combat conditions. Overall, the launch of such a program would be a major step forward for the Ukrainian defense industry and a powerful boost for its leading players. Gaining access to the international market will help not only attract buyers and investors but will also improve competitiveness and foster industry development. Not to mention, Ukraine currently has more experience in modern warfare than any other country and knows exactly what is needed in this new era,” commented Borys Drozhak.
