Frontline Robotics’ Buria RWS to be integrated with Dropla’s Logist UGV

Ukrainian defence tech company Frontline Robotics and Danish-Ukrainian firm Dropla have signed a memorandum of cooperation during the Eurosatory 2026 defence exhibition in Paris. As part of the partnership, Frontline’s Buria remote weapon station will be integrated with Dropla’s Logist UGV.

Buria is an RWS designed for precision target engagement from protected positions. The system can be equipped with Mk 19, RDS40 or AGL-53 automatic grenade launchers, Browning M2 heavy machine guns, and compatible weapon systems.

Buria features an integrated ballistic computer and operates on a coordinate-based targeting principle, enabling accurate engagement of targets while minimising operator exposure to enemy fire.

LOGIST is a highly survivable 6×6 UGV designed for logistics, resupply, and combat support missions. With a payload capacity of 250 kg, advanced multi-layer communications, and integrated self-protection systems, the platform can operate in contested environments while maintaining mobility even after sustaining damage.

Integration with Buria will expand the LOGIST platform’s operational capabilities, transforming it into a multi-purpose robotic system capable of supporting both logistics and combat operations.

“By combining our developments, we are creating a modular robotic capability that can support logistics, combat support and semi-autonomous missions,” said Mykyta Rozhkov, CBDO of Frontline Robotics.

The companies have also agreed to integrate Dropla’s AI threat detection capabilities into Frontline Robotics’ reconnaissance drones. Dropla was the first company in Ukraine to codify this solution; under the memorandum, the parties will integrate it to detect concealed “waiting drones”. In the future, this will also allow the system to be adapted for engineering and demining operations.

According to Dropla CEO Viacheslav Shvaidak, one of the most pressing challenges on the battlefield is detecting ‘waiting drones’ hidden in ambush positions near logistics routes.

“For more than two years, we have been training our models to detect small-scale threats,” he said. “Together with Frontline Robotics, we plan to integrate Blue Eyes into a network-centric system and connect it to the control stations of Linza and Zoom drones. This will provide operators with new capabilities, including instant detection of small ground and aerial threats, particularly hidden ‘waiting’ drones.”
