Meet Clarity: Ukrainian AI to Hunt Russian Forces in Seconds, Not Hours

Until recently, military analysts had to spend hours manually processing imagery from drones. Now, a Ukrainian-made AI program called Clarity is changing that, according to Ukraine’s defense cluster, Brave1, on September 9.

The software autonomously scans photos and videos, identifying enemy troops, equipment, and signs of hostile presence. It can cut analysis time by up to 90%—and it runs on an ordinary laptop.

Clarity was developed by a Ukrainian startup that won the Happy New Fear Hackathon organized by Brave1.

The victory secured a grant that allowed the team to build a more advanced version, Clarity Pro.

According to the developers, Clarity Pro can:

  • Process and decipher images in seconds;

  • Automatically geotag photos and videos on a digital map;

  • Generate and interpret orthophotos without manual input.

The tool is already in active use. More than 250 drone pilots, intelligence officers, and analysts — including units such as Achilles, Nemesis, Rubizh, and the 40th Separate Brigade—rely on Clarity to accelerate battlefield decisions. The program is continuously upgraded with feedback from the frontlines.

As Ukraine adapts to Russia’s war of attrition, AI is becoming a critical asset. In the words of the developers: “Artificial intelligence stands with Ukraine.”

Earlier, an updated E-Points  system was launched in Ukraine under the “Army of Drones.Bonus” program. In August alone, the military ordered more than $24 million worth of equipment through the Brave1 Market.

The E-Points system is part of Ukraine’s Army of Drones.Bonus program. Troops earn points for verified strikes on Russian targets and can exchange them on the Brave1 Market for drones, EW systems, and other equipment.
