Overview
UFORCE is a Ukrainian-origin defence technology company headquartered in London with Kyiv and Washington hubs, led by Oleg Rogynskyy. Its MAGURA maritime, NEMESIS aerial, LIUT ground, PREDATOR remote defence and C2 software families target government military procurement.
The November 12, 2026 company-issued announcement discloses a $700M Series A at a stated $6B valuation co-led by Valor Equity Partners and the UK's National Wealth Fund. NWF's separate November 12 primary statement identifies a $150M equity investment included in that total, with funds directed toward British engineering, manufacturing and supply chains.
March 5 reporting describes an earlier $50M seed at valuation above $1B; September media speculation about $500M at $5B was not an additional completed round. Series A legal close date, pre- versus post-money valuation, ownership, audited revenue, profitability, order backlog, unit prices and commercial contract terms remain undisclosed.
Company marketing claims of 300,000+ combat missions and favorable relative effectiveness/cost are not independently audited. NWF's goal of more than 70% UK-sourced content in UK-produced MAGURA boats is prospective, not independently verified shipped capacity.

Why UFORCE is interesting
November 12, 2026: issuer-announced $700M Series A at stated $6B valuation, co-led by Valor and the UK National Wealth Fund (NWF). NWF separately verifies its $150M equity ticket inside the round. A March 2026 $50M seed was an earlier, separate deal.
Product & use cases
Government buyer journey, illustrative rather than hands-on: (1) military procurement office defines operational needs and interoperability requirements; (2) evaluates UFORCE's MAGURA sea, NEMESIS air, LIUT ground or command software family against established alternatives; (3) assesses published battlefield evidence and requests controlled integration/safety trials; (4) reviews local production, regulatory licensing, security and sustainment arrangements; (5) negotiates acquisition, training and maintenance contract. UFORCE publishes no standard per-unit prices, signed contract amounts, annual recurring service revenue or government purchasing portal.
- MAGURA modular uncrewed maritime vessels, with production adaptation for UK and allied procurement.
- NEMESIS aerial platforms deployed by Ukrainian armed forces, based on company descriptions.
- LIUT uncrewed ground systems, PREDATOR remote protection systems and related software.
- C2 orchestration and integration of air/sea/land platforms, marketed as interoperable; independent interoperability acceptance varies by customer.
