At the recent Brave1 Defense Tech Valley 2025 exhibition, a groundbreaking Ukrainian initiative named Clarity was introduced. This program employs drone imagery analysis to identify and flag potentially threatening enemy positions automatically.

Details: According to a representative from the project, soldiers operate various drones, like the Mara, Valkyrja, and Cetus, which capture battlefield images up to 20 kilometers deep. After landing, each drone can return with about 1,500 to 2,000 high-resolution photos. Normally, examining these images takes analysts around six hours, but Clarity speeds this process up dramatically to just 20-30 minutes.
Clarity streamlines the initial analysis process, pinpointing areas of interest and allowing for quicker report generation. With this tool, command decisions on engaging targets can be made faster based on the results it provides.
It’s designed smartly to differentiate between military and civilian vehicles, to identify camouflaged threats, and to mark signs of enemy activity. If one image features multiple objects while others do not, Clarity highlights these critical locations that demand attention.
Quote from the company representative: “We trained our neural network using a private dataset of 100,000 images collected from public resources, including YouTube. Collaborating with military experts, we identified further enhancements for the tool’s capabilities.”
Details: Even though the final report compiled by personnel ensures accuracy, Clarity significantly reduces the time needed for quick decision-making.
The Clarity software is already part of the operational toolkit for Ukraine’s Unmanned Systems Forces, Armed Forces, National Guard, and State Border Guard Service. There are plans to broaden its applications in the future, looking into civilian uses like search efforts, border inspections, and monitoring illegal logging activities.
Background Info: Previously, Ukrainska Pravda reported that Logic7 had introduced a virtual training system for users to practice shooting down first-person view (FPV) drones at the same exhibition event.
