02/25/2026

Ukrainian defense companies have introduced an artificial intelligence-based digital assistant designed to support maintenance and repair of the domestically produced “Shablya” remote combat module in field conditions.

According to Ukrainian developers Roboneers and NeoLens, on February 23, the new system is intended to assist crews and technical personnel working with the “Shablya Mk 19(M)” and “Shablya M2” configurations. The companies presented the solution as a tool that enables rapid access to critical technical documentation directly in operational environments.

The AI assistant functions as an interactive knowledge base, allowing users to retrieve structured information on the design, configuration, and servicing of the combat module. It provides step-by-step guidance for operating and maintaining integrated weapons systems, including the Browning M2 heavy machine gun and the Mk 19 automatic grenade launcher.

Developers state that the platform relies exclusively on verified materials, including official documentation and manufacturer-approved video instructions. In addition to technical specifications, the system offers recommendations on safe operation procedures in combat scenarios.
