Ukraine-founded defense technology company Uforce raised $700 million in Series A funding at a $6 billion valuation to expand production of autonomous military systems for Ukraine and allied nations. Valor Equity Partners and the UK National Wealth Fund co-led the round, with participation from the U.S.-Ukraine Reconstruction Investment Fund and other investors. Uforce is headquartered in London and has major operations in Kyiv and Washington. It develops uncrewed systems for air, land and sea operations, as well as AI software to coordinate and control them.
The funding is intended to support manufacturing expansion across the United States, Europe, Asia-Pacific and the Middle East while maintaining production and supplies for Ukrainian forces despite continued attacks in Ukraine. Uforce plans to increase production and research and development across four product families: MAGURA uncrewed surface vessels, NEMESIS aerial drones, LIUT ground vehicles and PREDATOR turret systems. The company also anticipates working with partners in allied countries to adapt existing maritime and automotive manufacturing facilities for defense production.
Uforce plans to build on relationships within NATO and Joint Expeditionary Force networks and continue participating as a founding member of the EU-Ukraine Drone Alliance. It recently announced a partnership with ReconCraft to expand U.S. manufacturing of MAGURA vessels. The U.S.-Ukraine Reconstruction Investment Fund’s participation is specifically intended to support Uforce’s Ukraine operations, including staffing, research and development, and new products. No further timeline was disclosed at the time of publication.
