UCAV Punisher is a multifunctional unmanned combat aerial vehicle (UCAV),[1][2] which was developed in 2016 by Ukrainian combat veterans. Since 2019,[3][4][5] the system has been supplied to the Ukrainian Armed Forces with funds from philanthropists and the developer's own funds.[6] UCAV Punisher[7] has been officially contracted with the Ukrainian Armed Forces[8] from 18.08.2023. As of 21.12.2023, the manufacturer has fully fulfilled its obligations under the first contract. UCAV Punisher can be used for medical and rescue purposes, as well as for reconnaissance and combat missions behind enemy lines through the use of unguided strike containers of various modifications. UCAV Punisher[9] was designed to perform such tasks as aerial reconnaissance, direct action special operations, logistics and support for special operations,[10] search and rescue, and psychological operations.[11]

Moreover, to prevent leakage of critical information, parts of the targeting and navigation system are separated between the drones and the ground control station and are additionally protected in case of loss or capture.
UCAV Punisher is equipped with a patented modular payload system[4] which allows to reduce the cost of missions and increase mission number. There are three types of payload containers can be used as ammunition:
High explosive fragmentation bomb designed to destroy enemy troops, light armored targets, field command posts, radar, electronic warfare, and electronic warfare stations.
High explosive fragmentation, cumulativeunguided bomb designed to destroy enemy troops, lightly armored targets, field command stations, radar, EW, and EW stations, as well as ammunition and fuel depots.

Each system is operated by a crew of three servicemen: an external pilot, an operator and a technician. The manufacturer trains operators at official training centres of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.[12]
Usage featuresedit
This drone[13] has the lowest daily operating costs, both due to the reusability of scarce system components and the low cost of manufacturing payload containers. And the fact that it can be launched from a catapult up to an altitude of 400 m without making noise or leaving a heat trail protects it from detection by enemy air defences.
UCAV Punisher development started in 2015 to ensure air superiority of the Ukrainian Armed Forces during the Russian-Ukrainian war.[14] In 2016, mass production of the systems and crew training began. Since then, more than 100 crews have been trained to operate the UCAV Punisher,[15][16] more than 230 drones/systems are involved in combat operations.[17][18]
