At the beginning of next year, UKRSPECSYSTEMS UK will complete the first stage of launching the production of Ukrainian drone systems in the United Kingdom.
This is reported by the publication «Military», citing the words of the director of UKRSPECSYSTEMS UK, Rory Chamberlain.
«Our mission is to showcase the best of Ukrainian UAVs in the UK, and to do it on a large scale,» Chamberlain explained.
According to the head of the British division, at the first stage the enterprise must transition to a state of full readiness for production, including setting up equipment, certification processes, and start-up technological procedures.
At the same time, after the facilities are put into operation, the company will also move on to developing an engineering department, which will work in parallel with the Ukrainian team.
The bulk of R&D will remain in Ukraine, but separate engineering teams will work in the UK. As the company explains, this is necessary to adapt products to NATO standards and create joint solutions.
Chamberlain emphasized that the company seeks to avoid different technical standards for individual customers — everything must comply with a single security and compatibility system.
Actual production has not yet started, but the Ukrainian side is completing the procedures for technology transfer permits, which are necessary for the company to operate in the UK.
The company emphasizes that bureaucratic stages are necessary because they ensure the legal and security purity of the process.
According to the publication, UKRSPECSYSTEMS UK is positioning the new site as a joint Ukrainian-British engineering and production center capable of scaling developments, including such as the MINI SHARK reconnaissance drone.
Also recently, UKRSPECSYSTEMS confirmed that it is building a factory in the UK and investing $250 million in drone production.
As dev.ua wrote, UKRSPECSYSTEMS increased the production of drones several times over the year .
