Trinity Robotics, a Ukrainian company developing ground-based robotic platforms for casualty evacuation and logistics, has received over €500,000 in funding. The funds raised will allow the startup to more than double the production of its flagship Konyk ONE drones.
The closing of the strategic investment round was reported by Defence Blog. The round was supported by Swedish funds Front Ventures AB and Hede Capital, as well as Defence Builder Fund I.
The Konyk ONE robotic complex is designed to perform tasks in high-risk areas: military evacuation, delivery of ammunition and provisions under artillery fire and the sights of reconnaissance drones. The device is capable of transporting up to 300 kg of payload over rough terrain and destroyed infrastructure. A combination of LTE, Starlink satellite internet and digital radio channels is used to communicate with the operator, which ensures the stability of the system even during active signal jamming.
The company currently produces up to 70 such complexes per month. Thanks to new investments, production volumes are planned to increase to 150 units this July. Trinity robots are supplied, in particular, through the Defense Procurement Agency and the State Special Communications Agency. They are used in more than 20 different units of the Defense Forces of Ukraine and have already successfully passed codification according to NATO standards.
"Ground robots are no longer an experimental technology, they are becoming a critically important part of modern warfare and a tool for saving lives on the battlefield. This demonstrates the growing international trust in the Ukrainian defense technology sector," said Trinity Robotics co-founder Oleksiy Konyk.
In turn, Jonas Malmgren, a representative of the Swedish Front Ventures AB, emphasized that the fund sees a growing need for ground drones and does not rule out further financing of the startup until the end of 2026.
Recall that last fall, the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine approved the delivery of the Fochtas unmanned logistics and evacuation transporter to the Armed Forces. It is distinguished by its almost silent operation and low silhouette (up to 40 cm), which allows for unobtrusive evacuation in the field. The transporter is capable of transporting up to 150 kg of cargo, including wounded people in full combat gear or ammunition.
