They also plan to establish a Swedish legal entity in the near future to oversee local manufacturing operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Under the memorandum, AIDRONESUA will be responsible for the platform&#8217;s development and further upgrades based on battlefield experience, while NJORD Technology AB will provide manufacturing and engineering support. The partnership is expected to expand production capacity and shorten delivery times for the robotic systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">NJORD Technology AB stated that the partnership with the Ukrainian company is expected to contribute to the development of new robotic solutions, strengthen technological cooperation between Sweden and Ukraine, and support the implementation of joint innovation projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"542\" data-id=\"97841\" src=\"https:\/\/thedefender.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/mau1l-3-1024x542.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-97841\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thedefender.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/mau1l-3-1024x542.webp 1024w, https:\/\/thedefender.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/mau1l-3-300x159.webp 300w, https:\/\/thedefender.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/mau1l-3-768x407.webp 768w, https:\/\/thedefender.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/mau1l-3.webp 1360w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">MAUL evacuation UGV.

Ukrainian company AIDRONESUA is the developer and sole owner of all intellectual property rights to the system. During the platform&#8217;s development, the company incorporated the practical experience of military medics, specifically specialists from the First Separate Medical Battalion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unlike many electric platforms, the MAUL uses a 4\u00d74 wheeled chassis powered by an internal combustion engine, providing an operational range of up to 110 km on paved roads and up to 100 km off-road. The vehicle has a top speed of 50 km\/h on paved roads and up to 40 km\/h across rough terrain. It has a payload capacity of up to 200 kg, while deployment takes up to 10 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The vehicle is also equipped with day and infrared cameras, supports up to 48 hours of autonomous standby mode, and provides up to five hours of continuous operation. The platform&#8217;s design allows it to be used for casualty evacuation, logistics operations, and cargo transport in challenging environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"541\" src=\"https:\/\/thedefender.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maul-2-1024x541.webp\" alt=\"\u0415\u0432\u0430\u043a\u0443\u0430\u0446\u0456\u0439\u043d\u0438\u0439 \u041d\u0420\u041a &quot;\u041c\u0430\u0443\u043b\u044c&quot;. \u0424\u043e\u0442\u043e AIDRONESUA\" class=\"wp-image-97843\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thedefender.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maul-2-1024x541.webp 1024w, https:\/\/thedefender.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maul-2-300x159.webp 300w, https:\/\/thedefender.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maul-2-768x406.webp 768w, https:\/\/thedefender.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maul-2.webp 1360w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">MAUL evacuation UGV.
