Ukraine Becomes Testing Ground for Danish Defense Firm’s Advanced AI Systems
In Ukraine, leading Danish defense company Terma A/S tested its AI technologies for detecting enemy drones, integrating them with Ukrainian air defense systems.
The Gaze reports on it, referring to a statement made by First Deputy Prime Minister — Minister of Digital Transformation, Mykhailo Fedorov, on Telegram.
Terma A/S, Denmark's largest defense manufacturer, known for its contribution to the creation of components for the F-35, has tested artificial intelligence systems for detecting enemy drones in Ukraine.
The company's technologies are now being integrated with the Ukrainian Gorska interceptor from Odd Systems that allows targets to be detected at even greater distances.
The testing was organized by the Brave1 cluster, which coordinated with the Ukrainian military and provided feedback.
“This is a unique experience that cannot be gained anywhere else in the world. That is why global technologies are evolving in Ukraine,” Fedorov wrote.
The next stage of testing will take into account the military's requests to optimize the system's performance. The Minister of Digital Transformation asserts that such cooperation between international companies and Ukrainian developers strengthens the protection of Ukraine's airspace and demonstrates the country's role as a platform for innovative defense solutions.
On July 28, 2025, Ukraine launched the Test in Ukraine platform, created by the Brave1 cluster, for international companies that want to test their defense technologies in real combat conditions.
The program allows testing of unmanned aerial vehicles, marine drones, electronic warfare systems, and AI solutions, with direct feedback from the Ukrainian military. Participants can choose one of two testing formats: independent testing with direct access to field conditions and users, or delegated testing, where Brave1 organizes the tests and provides structured reports and analytics.
The first international company to use the platform was Germany's DIEHL, known for its IRIS-T air defense systems, which conducted its first field tests in Ukraine.
The Gaze reported earlier that, as of August 12, the Ukrainian technology cluster Brave1 has already accepted 45 foreign applications for weapons testing as part of the Test in Ukraine initiative.
