Circus Defence makes first deployment with BRAVE1 in Ukraine — a world first for autonomous defence

Munich-based startup Circus Defence has initiated its first deployment in Ukraine through a framework agreement with BRAVE1, the Ukrainian government's defense technology platform. This marks the world's first instance of autonomous defense systems being utilized in active defense operations. This deployment signifies a significant advancement in autonomous technology's application within the defense sector, highlighting Europe's growing capabilities in this field. The deployment involves Circus Defence's CA-M, a fully autonomous food preparation system. This system is designed for field missions and provides frontline-ready meals without human involvement, reducing operational complexity. The CA-M features a containerized design for rapid deployment and 24/7 access to fresh, nutritious meals, equipped with smart sensors and vision-based controls to maintain hygiene and food safety. This technology directly benefits Ukrainian partners by enhancing their operational logistics and efficiency. The initiative, supported by the Ministry of Digital Transformation and the Ministry of Defence, aims to integrate advanced defense technologies within Ukraine. Furthermore, Circus Defence plans to utilize this collaboration to expand its AI robotics product portfolio.
