Serhii Kupriienko, co-founder and CEO of Swarmer, discussed the company's work on drone swarm technology in interviews in late 2023 and 2024. He stated that Swarmer develops software and artificial intelligence components rather than manufacturing drones themselves, and that the company collaborates with manufacturers to improve drone effectiveness. Kupriienko described the system as designed to manage different types of drones simultaneously, aiming to complement human operators by handling tasks that are difficult for people, rather than fully replacing them. He also noted that previous solutions developed for civilian use do not work on the front line due to the challenging environment, including electronic warfare and radio interference. Kupriienko also spoke about the broader defense technology startup ecosystem in Ukraine, encouraging a long-term approach to the war effort. He argued that sustainable business models and ongoing funding are necessary for maintaining teams and procurement, and that international contracts could help accelerate product development and support the war effort. He emphasized that the goal is not to earn excessive profits but to ensure continuous resources for subsequent stages of work.
