As the war against Russia grinds on, the Ukrainian Armed Forces have identified more and more uses for unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs), from serving as hosts for electronic warfare payloads to medevac, but they’re always on the lookout for more, according to a Ukrainian official.

“I saw today some [unmanned] systems over there in the exhibition,” Ukrainian Army Maj. Gen. Borys Kremenskyi told the audience at the ground vehicle conference GVSETS here in Michigan. “We have to work with them. Just to be very clear, we are ready to take any system to test.”

Kremenskyi, the defense attache for the Ukrainian Embassy in Washington, said UGVs have been “really crucial” on the battlefield. For example, the front lines have become saturated with electronic warfare signals, which has prompted Ukrainian forces to equip unmanned platforms with their own EW capabilities and role them out into dangerous territory.

“When we are talking about EW, we are changing, and the enemies are changing. We are developing this [approach], but it creates a kind of electronic warfare dome,” Kremenskyi noted.
