SPARC AI Inc. (CSE: SPAI) (OTCQB: SPAIF) (Frankfurt: 5OV0) announced plans to establish permanent operations in Ukraine through a wholly owned subsidiary, aiming to accelerate adoption of its Overwatch autonomous mission software across the country’s defense drone market. The expansion includes building an in-country commercial and technical team, opening a physical office, and appointing Greg Daly as chief strategy and mission integration officer to lead execution.
The company is working to convert growing engagement with Ukrainian drone manufacturers and operators into recurring software sales while expanding Overwatch’s role in unifying disparate drone fleets into a shared battlefield intelligence and navigation platform. This move comes as Ukraine continues to rely heavily on drone technology for reconnaissance and strike capabilities amid ongoing conflict.
SPARC AI’s software-only approach addresses one of the most critical challenges in modern autonomous systems: accurate navigation and targeting when GPS is unavailable. The company’s AI-powered platform transforms low-cost inertial sensors already inside commercial drones into precision instruments without additional hardware, external signals, or complex integration. This makes GPS-denied capability for target acquisition and navigation accessible at the price point and scale that modern drone operations demand, from single platforms to fleets of thousands.
The establishment of permanent operations in Ukraine signals a strategic commitment to a key market for defense technology. Ukraine has become a testing ground for drone warfare, with both military and private entities rapidly adopting unmanned systems. By embedding a local team, SPARC AI aims to foster closer collaboration with drone manufacturers and operators, ensuring its Overwatch software meets real-time operational needs.
Greg Daly’s appointment as chief strategy and mission integration officer underscores the company’s focus on execution. Daly will lead the effort to integrate Overwatch into existing drone ecosystems, helping operators achieve seamless interoperability among different drone types. This is particularly important in Ukraine, where a diverse array of drones are used, often requiring centralized command and control.
The expansion also highlights the growing importance of software-defined capabilities in defense. Unlike hardware upgrades, software solutions like Overwatch can be rapidly deployed and updated, providing a cost-effective way to enhance drone functionality. As GPS jamming becomes more prevalent in modern conflicts, the ability to navigate and target without satellite signals is increasingly vital.
