German company Circus SE, one of the global leaders in artificial intelligence technologies for autonomous food supply and tactical military logistics systems, is launching cooperation with the 3rd Army Corps of the Ukrainian Ground Forces in Kyiv, according to the company’s press release.
The cooperation will mark the first-ever use of autonomous food supply systems in an active conflict environment, the statement said.
According to the release, Circus has received a regulatory certificate from the State Service of Ukraine on Food Safety and Consumer Protection to import the company’s technologies into Ukraine.
The deployment of the system in Ukraine marks the beginning of Circus’ operations on the Ukrainian market and cooperation with the 3rd Army Corps of the Armed Forces of Ukraine under a framework agreement signed in December 2025. The Kyiv-based team will provide technical support, operator training, and implementation of CA-M systems across the country.
The launch of the system in Ukraine follows the German Armed Forces’ deployment of the CA-1 robotic system and Circus’ victory in a government tender to supply autonomous food systems to the Lithuanian Armed Forces.
Circus uses a full technological ecosystem to support military personnel: hardware systems, artificial intelligence-based software, and its own ingredient supply infrastructure, enabling autonomous food production in military environments.
Circus SE (XETRA: CA1) is a German dual-use technology company developing proprietary AI models, autonomous robotic sustainment systems, and a central operating platform for civilian and defence applications. With a globally active portfolio of autonomous meal supply robotics and high-volume serial production live, Circus is building the infrastructure for autonomous food supply – on a mission to fuel humanity.
