The Protector ground robotic complex and the UB60D drone from Ukrainian Armored Vehicles can now be ordered by units of the Defense Forces through digital support systems without lengthy approvals and paper procedures.
According to the Facebook page of «Ukrainian Armored Vehicles», both positions are available through the DOT-Chain system, as well as on the Brave1 Market marketplace within the «E-Points» and Defense programs. At the end of last year, the manufacturer signed framework agreements with the Defense Procurement Agency of the Ministry of Defense, which allow the military to choose and receive Ukrainian-made products through a simplified procedure.
The Protector NRC already has official status for use in the military: in June 2025, the Ministry of Defense reported that the complex had been codified and approved for operation in the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and among the declared characteristics were a load capacity of up to 700 kg and a range of up to 400 km.
The company explains that since January 1, the equipment has officially appeared in these digital systems and is already being used by units in practice. Vladyslav Belbas, General Director of Ukrainian Armored Vehicles, notes that the new approach reduces bureaucracy and allows commanders to quickly order the equipment needed for specific tasks.
The Ministry of Defense codified and approved for operation in the Armed Forces of Ukraine the UB60D strike unmanned aviation complex in July 2025. This is an FPV drone with an already integrated warhead based on a 60-mm mine. Public descriptions of the complex also mention a ground control station and batches of drones in the kit.
According to him, framework agreements provide for the constant availability of finished products in the manufacturer’s warehouses. This allows you to reduce the time between the request from the military and the actual shipment to a few days, without lengthy approvals and waiting for individual contracts. The company emphasizes that they consider this model not only as a procurement mechanism, but as a direct channel of interaction with the front, where decisions are made quickly and based on real needs.
Previously, dev.ua wrote about how Ukrainian Armored Vehicles conducted fire tests of the Protector heavy ground robotic complex with an integrated remotely controlled combat module «Tavria-12.7», turning it into a full-fledged strike platform operating without the participation of infantry on the front line.
