Ukrainian unmanned systems expertise — represented in Europe.
BlackBoxer is a strategic international partner of ARMADA, the Ukrainian Association of Unmanned Systems and Related Technologies. Together we combine global capabilities with Ukraine’s innovative defense technology to deliver mission-driven solutions and open new opportunities worldwide.
What is ARMADA?
ARMADA is an association uniting Ukrainian companies that build leading unmanned systems and the technologies behind them. Its members develop drones and related solutions for defense, infrastructure and industry — refined continuously against real operational conditions.
The association exists to build a platform for honest business, innovation and direct dialogue with government — advocating for manufacturers, accelerating market access, and coordinating testing, certification and international partnerships.
“To jointly develop a platform for honest business, innovation, and direct dialogue with the State.”
Advocacy
Representing manufacturer interests in defense-sector policy and legislation, through the Ukrainian Arms Manufacturers Council.
Market access
Promotion in state and private procurement systems, plus the association’s own marketplace.
Testing & training
Polygon access, operator involvement and cooperation with certified drone academies.
Documentation
NATO stock number acquisition, technical specifications and codification procedures.
International events
Trade-show participation and international partnership development.
Engineers Hub
A shared talent network — members access specialist engineering capacity across the association, from aerodynamic modeling to prototype assembly.
Financing & investment
Grant research, investor connections and business-plan development for members.
Market intelligence
Information and analytical support for members and government dialogue.
Flagship initiatives
Programs the association runs today — each one directly strengthens what BlackBoxer delivers to European buyers.
Critically Protected
ARMADA’s ecosystem initiative for protecting energy and critical infrastructure against aerial threats — uniting the state, the military, manufacturers and the private sector around layered air defense for critical facilities.
Certified operator training
A cooperation memorandum with Global Drone Academy — Ukraine’s first privately-run UAV school certified by the Ministry of Defence — developing training methodology directly with member manufacturers.
Engineers Hub
A talent-sharing network across member companies covering aerodynamic modeling, propulsion selection, flight-controller configuration, test flights and prototype assembly.
Field-proven, not prototyped
ARMADA’s members refine their systems continuously against real operational conditions — iterating on combat feedback in weeks, not years.
That pace, paired with testing, training and NATO-standard documentation, is what BlackBoxer brings to European buyers as deployable capability.
