Abstract
The article focuses on Ukraine's mobilization of its academic research community to enhance military technology in response to ongoing warfare with Russia. Researchers at institutions like Kyiv Polytechnic University are developing advanced drones and other military technologies, such as multispectral camouflage and directed-energy weapons, to gain a strategic advantage. The National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine (NASU) has shifted its priorities to support defense initiatives, with notable figures like Volodymyr Horbulin leading efforts to tailor research to military needs. The war has also impacted the mental health of researchers and civilians, while the ongoing conflict has prompted innovative responses to threats, including the development of countermeasures against electronic warfare and the fortification of critical infrastructure.
