#Reconnaissance Drones

Ukrainian UAV manufacturers highlight two key trends — lowering the cost of basic airframes and increasing autonomy. Observation and target identification are currently performed by operators, but the strike decision will remain human-controlled.

Over four to five years, Ukrainian reconnaissance drones have evolved from commercial copters to systems featuring encrypted communications, a range of up to 70 km, and flight times up to four hours. Manufacturers explain how AI and modularity are transforming reconnaissance.
