Kurbas is the most widely used Ukrainian-made thermal camera on the frontline. Now it is taking a step toward production in the U.S. @thefourthlawai and @SystemsOdd have signed a memorandum of understanding with Performance Drone Works (@PDW_ai), an American defense technology company. The collaboration was announced at @AUSAorg 2026, the annual exposition and conference of the Association of the United States Army in Washington, D.C. The companies will evaluate integrating Odd Systems’ Kurbas thermal cameras into PDW aircraft and their subsequent production in the U.S. The MOU also covers assessing the potential for thermal-sensor fabrication in the U.S. under Project Foundation. Odd Systems builds its cameras around the thermal sensor, developing the electronics, image processing, and low-level firmware in-house. With Project Foundation, the semiconductor initiative we launched on October 9, we are taking that work down to the sensor itself. Together with PDW, we will assess the potential to produce it in the U.S. Today, Kurbas is supplied to more than 200 drone manufacturers. It flies on many types of unmanned systems, from Shahed interceptors to strike drones. As a reminder, our team is at AUSA 2026 in Washington, D.C. this week, including Igor Nakonechnyi, CEO of Project Foundation.

The Fourth Law and @SystemsOdd have announced the launch of Project Foundation, a semiconductor initiative to mass-produce thermal imaging sensors for Ukraine, the rest of Europe and the United States. The initiative covers the development of LWIR sensors and the deployment of a network of partner-operated and in-house manufacturing facilities. It will create a new industrial base for defense and civilian needs and supply affordable sensors to manufacturers of drones, vehicles, and robotics. The project is headquartered in Eindhoven, the Netherlands, one of Europe’s leading semiconductor hubs. Its first fabs, First Foundation and Second Foundation, will open in Europe and the US, respectively. The first sensors under the initiative are expected as early as 2027.
