Ukrainian company Ailand Systems announced that its drone, “Spinner” (ST1), has received official codification within the NATO Codification System.
“Our UAV “Spinner” (formerly ST1) has received official codification under the NATO Codification System. The drone has been assigned a unique NATO Stock Number (NSN), making it the first Ukrainian mine-detection drone to be codified under the NATO system.,” the company stated.
Ailand Systems was founded in 2020 by IT specialist Dmytro Titov, who has over 15 years of experience. Before Russia’s full-scale invasion, the company created the agricultural drone “Bee,” which cost $100,000 to develop.
After the war began, Titov joined the Defense Forces as a sapper. Upon returning to civilian life, he decided to develop a mine-detection drone. To achieve this, Ailand Systems modified the “Bee,” creating an updated version named ST1.
“This was a long and challenging three-year journey – from the first prototype to official NATO codification. We have built the world’s best mine-detection drone. Its mission is to prevent destruction and loss of life, and successful codification is proof of its effectiveness,” commented Dmytro Titov, CEO of Ailand Systems.
He added that receiving the NSN codification enables the system’s use by defense forces and its integration with NATO standards.
