Ukraine is opening access to its battlefield data to allied countries and technology partners to help train artificial intelligence systems used in military drones, the country’s defense leadership said.
According to Mykhailo Fedorov, Kyiv has developed a platform that allows partners to train AI models using battlefield datasets while ensuring sensitive information remains protected.
The initiative is intended to accelerate development of autonomous drone technologies and data-driven military systems as Ukraine continues its war with Russia.
Fedorov said Ukraine has accumulated a vast amount of combat data during the conflict, including millions of annotated images captured during tens of thousands of drone flights.
He described the dataset as one of the most extensive collections of real-world battlefield information available globally, making it valuable for training AI models to recognize patterns, objects and behavior in combat environments.
The data includes photos and video footage that can help AI systems identify vehicles, equipment and human activity on the battlefield, improving automated targeting and reconnaissance capabilities.
Militaries worldwide are increasingly experimenting with AI-powered systems that can analyze large volumes of information and guide drones to targets without direct human control.
Fedorov said Ukraine plans to work with international partners on joint analytics, AI model training and development of new military technologies, while ensuring that sensitive operational data remains secure.
The move reflects Kyiv’s effort to leverage lessons from Europe’s largest conflict since World War II and convert battlefield experience into technological advantages.
Ukraine is also expanding the use of unmanned systems across its armed forces.
Oleksandr Syrskyi said the military is creating specialized units dedicated to intercepting enemy drones and increasing the deployment of autonomous vehicles.
Ukrainian officials say the war has entered a new technological phase in which unmanned systems, AI and data-driven decision-making are becoming central to military operations.
Kyiv has also begun sharing its anti-drone expertise with international partners, including several countries in the Middle East that have requested assistance in countering Iranian-made Shahed drones used in large-scale attacks.
