The Ukrainian Ministry of Defense has granted Ukrainian defense companies access to the Avengers Labs platform to train AI models for unmanned systems using real battlefield data.

This is stated in an official announcement from the Ministry of Defense.

The platform was developed by the Center for Innovation and Development of Defense Technologies—the team that created the DELTA combat system.

Avengers Labs is based on an annotated dataset of 5 million frames collected on the battlefield. Most of the data comes from the DELTA system and is constantly being updated. The data covers tanks, artillery, air defense systems, infantry, and aerial targets, including “Shaheds” and reconnaissance drones.

This dataset was used to train the automatic target detection system, which is already operational in DELTA. Every month, it analyzes over 100,000 video streams and detects 70% of enemy targets in real time—both day and night.

The models enable scenarios where an operator locks onto a target and the drone autonomously adjusts its flight path, or where the unmanned system independently detects a target in a specified area.

The first companies have already signed licensing agreements. To join, you must submit an application on the website and undergo a review to ensure you meet the criteria.

As a reminder, the first successful Freyja interception is planned for mid-2027. The Ukrainian company Fire Point has secured contracts from more than a dozen European defense firms to supply radars, guidance systems, and other components for the Freyja missile defense project.
