Ukrainian Technology Can Effectively Protect Polish Critical Infrastructure – Live Demo at the 15th Mazovia Development Forum – European Funds Forum

October 8th, 2025, will mark Warsaw as the epicenter of discussions on the future of critical infrastructure security in Poland. As part of the 15th Mazovia Development Forum – European Funds Forum, Ukrainian-Estonian company Farsight Vision, a participant of the PUSB (Polish-Ukrainian Startup Bridge) acceleration program, will present breakthrough solutions in drone technology during the workshop titled „Securing Mazovia Today and Tomorrow: Drone Technologies and the Significance of Polish-Ukrainian Partnership for Critical Infrastructure Protection.”

Polish-Ukrainian Partnership as Key to Success

Farsight Vision exemplifies an innovative paradigm for strategic defense cooperation between Poland and Ukraine, demonstrating the transformative potential of cross-border security partnerships. The company’s robust financial foundation is evidenced by its successful €600,000+ seed investment from prestigious Estonian venture capital fund Darkstar in 2024, complemented by a competitive €193,850 defense innovation grant awarded by the Estonian Ministry of Defence in 2025— representing nearly €800,000 in total validated funding from institutional investors and government agencies.

During the comprehensive 60-minute workshop, participants will witness an exclusive 10-minute live demonstration of the FSV Platform system. Nataliia Yarka from the Farsight Vision team will conduct a real-time showcase of advanced 3D terrain modeling capabilities and orthophoto creation without GPS dependency. Special focus will be devoted to presenting AI-powered anomaly detection functions and change analysis for critical infrastructure monitoring. This cutting-edge technology enables early threat detection of small unmanned aerial vehicles operating beyond the range of conventional radar systems, facilitating neutralization before they reach critical infrastructure objects.

Participants will also explore the company’s latest innovation – FSV Localizer – which enables drone localization through analysis of transmitted video streams. This sophisticated system can detect, locate, and track unmanned aerial vehicles in real-time, creating a comprehensive counter-small drone protection framework while covering a broad spectrum of security operations – from threat detection to automated service alerts – at substantially lower costs than deploying multiple expensive radar installations. Consequently, residents and businesses can depend on uninterrupted operation of essential services – from energy supply to seamless goods transportation – even when facing escalating hybrid security threats.

Current Challenges for Polish Security

Recent events from September 2025, when dozens of Russian drones violated Polish airspace, dramatically highlighted the urgent need to strengthen counter-drone protection systems. This incident, marking the first case in history of NATO shooting down Russian unmanned aerial vehicles in a North Atlantic Alliance member’s airspace, underscored existing limitations of current defense systems.

Polish grid operator PSE has already signaled the need to expand its powers in monitoring and responding to threats, including intercepting unmanned aerial vehicles. Polish technology companies such as Advanced Protection Systems, Hertz New Technologies, and AP-FLYER/MADDOS are intensively developing C-UAV (Counter-Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) solutions, yet as experts emphasize, available technologies remain prohibitively expensive and require further development.

Technology Future in Mazovia

Why does Mazovia need these technologies today? The region contains the country’s key energy infrastructure – from local power plant with over 3,000 MW capacity to an extensive transmission network of 935 km of 400 kV high-voltage lines. Energy consumption in the voivodeship is growing at 3.5% annually – significantly faster than the national average – making Mazovia particularly vulnerable to hybrid threats.

Within the context of available hundreds of millions of euros from the European Funds for Mazovia 2021-2027 program for security infrastructure, Farsight Vision technologies offer local governments the opportunity to strengthen local protection using proven solutions. This represents an investment in the future that combines regional security with the development of local technological competencies within a broader strategy for building a security technology ecosystem in Central and Eastern Europe.

Farsight Vision: From Ukrainian Frontlines to European Markets

Farsight Vision, founded in 2023 by Viktoria Yaremchuk and Volodymyr Nepiuk – graduates of the Lviv Business School of the Ukrainian Catholic University – emerged from a concrete wartime necessity. When Ukrainian soldiers requested better tools for analyzing enemy fortifications, the founders created a solution that today revolutionizes the utilization of data collected through drones.

The technology developed by the company (FSV Platform) enables processing of video and photographic materials from drones into precise 3D maps and orthophotomaps with 5-7 cm per pixel accuracy within just one hour. Crucially, the system operates in GPS-denied environments, making it an ideal tool for civilian infrastructure monitoring.
