Seeking companies, engineers, and a CTO/tech lead. Cap: initiative/ecosystem; named corporate vehicle still TBD per Ukrainska Pravda - **6-month / 12-month OKRs (company-stated, Sep 2026):** Company-stated / reported ([company-stated](https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2026/09/26/8055159/); also [The Defender](https://thedefender.media/en/2026/09/fedorov-launches-army-of-robots/)): Fedorov set aggressive early program targets: within ~6 months, a first confirmed [humanoid](/humanoids)-robot battlefield result (Ukrainska Pravda quotes the goal as a humanoid robot killing a Russian soldier within six months of launch; The Defender, citing press service, softens to first confirmed battlefield result with a humanoid). Within ~12 months, a first robots-and-[drones](/drones) assault operation with systems communicating via shared algorithms, with robots doing the most dangerous parts without infantry. Cap: aspirational founder OKRs at launch, not demonstrated capability or a fielded product - **Related fund / Palantir (reported, Sep 2026):** Reported ([reported](https://tech.eu/2026/09/27/make-robots-fight-instead-of-people-mykhailo-fedorov-launches-army-of-robots-and-you-could-be-its-cto/); also [Ukrainska Pravda](https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2026/09/26/8055159/)): initiative builds on Fedorov's earlier plan for a defence-tech investment fund (invest in Ukrainian startups and create companies around critical battlefield tech: battlefield robotics, jet-powered interceptor [drones](/drones), low-cost AI-powered missiles). Tech.eu and Ukrainska Pravda say Palantir CEO Alex Karp was announced as a lead / key investor in that related firm.
