British Evolve Dynamics opens new office in Kyiv. The company manufactures drones and payloads

British deftech company Evolve Dynamics is opening an office in Kyiv. The business has already had a limited liability company registered in Ukraine since 2024, and the new office will focus on engineering and test flights. This will enable closer cooperation with Ukrainian users and manufacturers, the company says.

The Kyiv team will collaborate with Ukrainian engineers and UAV operators to accelerate the development of unmanned systems capable of operating in GPS-denied and electronically contested environments.

The Evolve Dynamics lineup comprises three drones:

• The miniature Foxe, weighing just 250g, has a range of 2km and a flight endurance of 35 minutes;
• The Wolfe has a range of 3km and a flight endurance of one hour. The drone is also equipped with an automatic interceptor evasion system and AI that detects target objects;
• The reconnaissance UAV Sky Mantis 2 that can be powered via cable using the Infinity Tether module.

In addition to drones, the company manufactures various types of cameras and a sensor for tracking mobile devices. It also offers modifications for UAVs: the aforementioned cable-control module, a radar system for autonomous landing, streaming software, and a radio-signal range-extension kit.

Evolve Dynamics was founded in the UK in 2016 and has been present in Ukraine since 2017. The local limited liability company was established in 2024; by that point, Evolve Dynamics had delivered around 100 Sky Mantis drones to the Ukrainian military.
