Modern military equipment, in particular robotic, can compensate for the inequality of Ukraine and Russia in human resources. The development of technology can help us win the war.

Pavlo Kosolapkin, co-founder and technical director of the Ukrainian Miltech company Frontline, shared this opinion in an interview with UAportal. He is sure that the technology must constantly develop, be more autonomous and universal in management.

“If one person can control not one drone, but ten, then we multiply one person by 10. In this way, we can compensate for our inequality in human resources,” he explained.

“In order to be one step ahead, you must constantly think about tomorrow, and thinking about tomorrow is equal to having developments. It is impossible to think about tomorrow if all you do is take the best closed components that another manufacturer produces, put it all together together and produce a product. This is a story about today, it works, but tomorrow the enemy can advance to a higher level on these components and add their added value there with him on equal footing,” Kosolapkin is confident.

Frontline co-founder and director Yevhen Tretyak pointed out the importance of “combining resources and integration into single data exchange protocols.” “There should be points of contact that help to integrate the equipment of different manufacturers into one thing,” he said. Universal management would help simplify the military training program.

Frontline, as Tretyak noted, is now planning to scale production and improve technology.

“My personal challenge is to bring production and development together so that the moment of introducing a new development into a product is faster and painless,” Kosolapkin added.
