Auterion and Ukraine’s Airlogix launch joint drone production in Germany

Ukrainian drone manufacturer Airlogix and American-German company Auterion are launching a joint venture to produce UAVs in Germany. Artificial intelligence-based drones will be supplied to Ukraine and its allies.

The Ukrainian government has already ordered thousands of German-made systems from the joint venture, according to a statement from the companies. The first shipments are scheduled for 2026.

The joint venture will combine the strengths of both companies – Airlogix’s modern reconnaissance drones and Auterion’s software, which combines artificial intelligence, autonomous navigation, and electronic warfare resistance.

According to Arilogix CEO Vitalii Kolesnichenko, this partnership will enable the Ukrainian company to scale its expertise through European industrial capabilities.

Production will be launched in Germany, as will a joint venture between Ukraine’s TAF Industries and Germany’s Wingcopter. The companies announced this earlier today.

Airlogix specialises in the development and production of unmanned aerial vehicles and aviation systems. Its GOR drone can conduct reconnaissance for 4 hours, with a flight range of 260 km.

Auterion focuses on software for drones. The company offers a cloud-based robot control centre, autonomy systems, drone swarm technology, and more. Its clients include the US Department of War, the British and German Ministries of Defence, and the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
