Need for speed: Ukraine actively seeking Formula 1 expertise to design future Magura naval unmanned vehicles like ultra-lightweight racing machines
UFORCE is recruiting Formula 1 and technology engineers to develop lighter naval drones while building a unified software architecture across combat platforms.
Ukraine is actively seeking Formula 1 expertise to develop future Magura naval unmanned vehicles, akin to ultra-lightweight racing machines, according to Oleg Rogynskyy, CEO of defense company UFORCE. The company aims to build lighter, faster, and more enduring drones for combat use by recruiting engineers with a background in Formula 1 racing.
These specialists will assist in redesigning MAGURA naval drones, focusing on aspects such as weight reduction, speed enhancement, and endurance improvement. UFORCE already employs over 1,000 personnel worldwide, predominantly in Ukraine, and has completed over 150,000 combat missions with its MAGURA drones, which have reportedly engaged and downed Russian vessels and aircraft.
The company's strategy emphasizes the use of software across all unmanned platforms, with plans to unify land, sea, air, and counter-drone systems under a single software framework.
