The Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, in partnership with the Ministry of Digital Transformation, the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the Military Intelligence Research Institute, and the American technology company Palantir, is launching Brave1 Dataroom — a secure environment for testing and training artificial intelligence models for military applications.
The project is part of the Brave1 defense innovation cluster and aims to accelerate the development and deployment of autonomous AI solutions for the Ukrainian military.
“Artificial intelligence is becoming a decisive factor on the modern battlefield. We are grateful to Palantir for the technological partnership in launching Brave1 Dataroom, which will support the development of new AI-based game-changing solutions. Initially, the focus will be on autonomous detection and interception of aerial threats — a direction critically important for Ukraine,” said Ukraine’s Minister of Defense, Mykhailo Fedorov.
In its first stage, Brave1 Dataroom focuses on autonomous technologies for detecting and intercepting enemy drones. Interceptor drones have already demonstrated high battlefield effectiveness, but in response to massive UAV attacks, autonomy — the ability of systems to independently detect, identify, and neutralize aerial targets — becomes critical.
Brave1 Dataroom is built on software solutions from Palantir and already contains structured visual and thermal datasets of aerial targets, including Shahed-type enemy drones. The databases are based on real materials collected by Ukrainian soldiers and will continue to expand.
The platform allows Ukrainian defense companies to train, test, and validate their own AI models — from target detection and classification to autonomous interception algorithms — in a secure environment using relevant combat data.
Access to Brave1 Dataroom will be granted to Ukrainian defense developers after completing a mandatory security compliance procedure, ensuring protection of sensitive data and adherence to defense sector requirements.
