About the event

Join us for an exclusive side event - a site visit to the drone & drone swarm manufacturer Unmanned Defense Systems on the occasion of the Baltic VCA Summit. This is a unique opportunity to meet the founders -  Vytenis Buzas, one of the creators of the first Lithuanian satellite "Lituanica SAT-1" and the space mission leader, and Ernestas Kalabuckas, "Lithuanian CTO of the Year 2022" - and learn their story, from creating and successfully exiting a space company to building battle-tested technology and raising an oversubscribed round of over €3.2 million from a group of private investors, led by VC fund Coinvest Capital. When we say battle-tested, we truly mean it. Endorsed on the front lines, their systems were instrumental in strategic operations like retaking Snake Island in the Black Sea. 

Unmanned Defence Systems (UDS) is an advanced swarm technology solutions company, focusing on the AI-based integration of swarm drones with contemporary battlefield management systems (BMS). UDS has also designed its own fleet of UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles), ranging from reconnaissance drones Partisan to loitering munition and FPV drones. The mix of the company’s proprietary expertise, and the fusion of advanced in-house AI, robotics, and space technology skills place the team well ahead of its competitors. The company has already won multiple defense procurement tenders and supplies its solutions to the Lithuanian and Ukrainian armed forces, other EU members, and NATO allies. 

Access is limited, and registration is compulsory by Thursday, September 5, 2024.

We encourage prompt registration on a first-come, first-served basis, with confirmation priority to Baltic VCA Summit 2024 attendees. 

Event organizers retain the sole discretion to void registrations and to request an ID at the entrance. Final attendance confirmations will be sent on Friday morning. 

We look forward to hosting you and discussing innovations in the contemporary battle-field. While UDS products, from reconnaissance drones, loitering munition vehicles, decoy (electronic warfare) vehicles etc., are impressive on their own, it's the vertical and horizontal integration and the Swarm Command and Control System (SwarmC2), that turns separate vehicles into a cohesive swarm integral with contemporary Battle Management Systems (BMS) for a decisive attack and destroy capability, along with unprecedentedly quick, AI-supported, real-time analytics and decision-making.
