Ukrainian-Estonian defense startup Ark Robotics presented its flagship product, the Frontier System, at DALO EXPO 2025 in Ballerup, Denmark, on 20–21 August.
During a live demo, visitors remotely operated a ground robot on a training field near Kyiv—almost 2,000 kilometres away—proving the system's long-range control capability. "We wanted to show that distance is no longer a barrier," Ark Robotics COO Denys Hlushko told Defender Media.

Founded in 2024, Ark Robotics has rapidly become one of Ukraine's leading developers of autonomous systems. Its technologies are already deployed with 20 brigades of the Defense Forces, as well as the Ministry of Defense and Ministry of Digital Transformation.
The Frontier System is an AI-driven platform for managing robotic fleets with minimal human involvement. Designed to improve frontline efficiency and safety, it provides commanders and operators with a single encrypted interface for real-time video and telemetry from the battlefield. The system supports thousands of aerial, ground, and naval drones, keeping operators far from the frontline.
Although still a prototype, the platform is compatible with both Ark Robotics’ own products and unmanned systems from other manufacturers. At DALO EXPO, visitors tested control of Ukraine's Targan UGV and an in-house ground robot built by Ark Robotics.
Hlushko stressed that the company's goal is to deliver scalable solutions that give Ukraine a decisive asymmetric advantage on the battlefield.
