Ukraine has launched Odd Camera Factory One, focusing on the serial production of sensors for cameras and thermal imaging systems. The initiative, led by Yaroslav Azhnyuk, was announced by Acting Minister Oleksandr Bornyakov.

This facility aims to reduce Ukraine's reliance on foreign components, as the current military technology heavily depends on imports. Bornyakov emphasized the necessity of domestic production for achieving technological sovereignty.

Azhnyuk envisions a comprehensive DefenseTech sector integrating AI and autonomous systems. He likened advancements in defense AI to a modern-day Manhattan Project, urging urgent investment to maintain competitiveness in military technology.
