Design, Build, and Innovate Next-Gen Drones for Ukraine’s Frontlines
Ukraine is pioneering drone warfare at scale. Volunteer engineers, tinkerers, and developers are building everything from FPV kamikaze drones to aerial surveillance tools that cost a fraction of traditional military equipment. Your skills could help design the next generation of tools that protect lives and disrupt the enemy.
✈️ Why Drone Design for Ukraine Matters
Ukraine has become the world leader in combat drone innovation, with:
- Over 500 drone production teams
- 200,000+ FPV drones delivered in 2024 alone
- Constant battlefield feedback driving agile improvements
- Integration of software, sensors, AI, and low‑cost production
Volunteer efforts are driving much of this momentum — assembling drones in garages, testing new designs, and open-sourcing improvements for the whole ecosystem.
