Clarity

Clarity is a Ukrainian AI tool that automatically detects enemy equipment and positions in drone photos and video, links detections to map coordinates, and generates and interprets orthophoto maps — compressing analysis that previously took hours, and often days, into seconds. The bottleneck it targets is the reconnaissance backlog: footage pours in from front-line drones far faster than analysts can comb through it, slowing the chain between spotting a target and striking it. By geotagging detected vehicles, troops and other signs of hostile presence automatically, Clarity aims to shorten that loop.

An enhanced version, Clarity Pro, is reported to cut analyst workload by about 90 percent and to run on an ordinary laptop rather than dedicated hardware. The tool was publicly unveiled on 9 September 2025 by Mykhailo Fedorov, Ukraine’s minister for digital transformation. At launch its developers said it had passed 250 users — drone pilots, intelligence analysts and scouts — naming units including Achilles, Nemesis and Rubizh among its users.

Clarity grew out of Ukraine’s Brave1 defence-tech cluster: the team won the pre-seed startup track at Brave1’s “Happy New Fear” hackathon and secured a grant that funded the Clarity Pro version. Days after the launch, at Brave1’s Defense Tech Valley 2025 event in September, Clarity won the “Trailblazers” category of the “Battle Proven” competition, sharing a $60,000 prize pool with Dwarf Engineering and Farsight Vision . The company’s full legal name and founders are not publicly disclosed. It works in the same drone-imagery analysis space as Farsight Vision and ComBat Vision .
