The concern includes enterprises that operate in the development, manufacture, sale, repair, modernization and disposal of weapons, military and special equipment and ammunition, and participating in military-technical cooperation with foreign states.

As separate divisions stand those,[clarification needed] that are authorized to conduct import/export operations with military equipment and wares that hold National Security information.

[citation needed] In August 2016, "Ukroboronprom" signed a memorandum of cooperation with the former head of the Agency for Defence Advanced Research Projects (DARPA) Anthony Tetter.

In 2017, Ukroboronprom completed the State Defence Order and conveyed 3,673 units of weapons and equipment to the security agencies of the country, including 2,053 new and upgraded ones.

[21] It was later revealed that the weapon was an unmanned aerial vehicle and is rumored to be responsible for several attacks on Russian military infrastructure in Saratov, Ryazan, and Kursk.

It will not end with shells, we will soon show you other products produced with partner countries,"[23][24][25] On 21 March 2023 the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine renamed Ukroboronprom to "Ukrainska oboronna promyslovist" (Ukrainian Defense Industry).

[2] On 6 April, Ukroboronprom announced that it would start manufacturing 125mm tank rounds with Polish state defence company Polska Grupa Zbrojeniowa.

[30][31][32][33] The feasibility of combining in a single management structure of scientific, experimental, industrial enterprises and special exporters is supported by the positive effect,[according to whom?]

Formation of Ukroboronprom made available organization of an innovation cycle "research – development – serial production – consumption (sales) – service – utilization".

[citation needed] To ensure optimal decision-making in different fields the State Concern uses a concept of divisional management structure.

[37] In March 2014, after the annexation of Crimea by the Russian Federation, the company barred all exports of weaponry and military equipment to Russia.

[46] At the end of 2017 "Ukroboronprom" and Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute opened a new master's program "Management in the field of defence and industrial complex".

[49] On September 28, 2016, at the international exhibition of armaments "ADEX-2016" in Azerbaijan, the State Concern introduced a new combat module "Taipan"[50] which specifications meet the highest Western standards.

In 2016, "Ukroboronprom" also developed and presented a digital fire control system "Myslyvets",[51] combat modules "Duplet" and "Kastet", 60 mm mortar KBA.118, and transport aircraft An-132.

[52] At the beginning of 2017, "Ukroboronprom" agreed with the American company "Aeroscraft" on co-production of automatic M16 rifle (model WAC47) that meets NATO standards.

[54] "Ukroboronprom" agreed with the companies TAQNIA (Saudi Arabia) and Havelsan (Turkey) to develop a new modification of the aircraft for the marine patrol.

[citation needed] As of October 1, 2019, no weapon of this type and model has been produced, confirming the inappropriate technical choices voiced by many experts.

Two Ukrainian-Polish projects have also been created and demonstrated: main battle tank PT-17 and multiple launch rocket system ZRN-01 Stokrotka.

[59] On 4 November 2022, Ukrainian Defence Minister Oleksii Reznikov has announced that Ukroboronprom will start manufacturing shells at 152 and 122mm calibre for its Soviet era weapons.

To do this, we use both existing facilities and newly created ones in safe places," [61] On 1 January 2023, the first domestically made Ukrainian 152 mm artillery shells has been seen being fired from a D-20 howitzer in the Donbas.

For example, Ukroboronprom and Polish company Lubawa SA signed a memorandum on the establishment of new joint ventures in Ukraine, that will get 1 million euros investment.

[65] At the international exhibition " Arms and Security 2015" in Kyiv, Ukroboronprom agreed on cooperation with the American company "Textron" in the production of heavy armored vehicles.

[67] At the International Aviation Salon Dubai Air Show in 2015, Antonov and the company "Taqnia Aeronautics" signed two memorandums on cooperation in promoting 4 sanitary AN-148-100, 4 reconnaissance and rescue variants of the AN-132, and 2 devices for producing of radio interference based on the aircraft to the market of Saudi Arabia.

[68] In 2016, Antonov and "Taqnia Aeronautics" signed an agreement on cooperation on the construction of aircraft complex and production of An-132 in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

[69] The result of one of the largest international exhibitions "DefExpo 2016" was the agreement on large-scale partnership in military-technical sphere with the Indian company "Reliance Defence Limited".

[70] During the International Aerospace Salon Farnborough Airshow 2016 in the UK, Antonov signed two contracts with the Canadian company Esterline CMC Electronics.

Priority of cooperation is the development of a roadmap for Ukrainian defense industry transition to NATO standards, and deep partnership with EU member countries.

[76] On July 10, 2017, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg highly appreciated Antonov transport aircraft during his visit to Kyiv.

[82] Four clusters are in the process of creation: armored vehicles, shipbuilding, high-precision weapon systems, radar, electronic warfare and communications.
