UUT's journey began in 2016 when a dedicated team of engineers and programmers developed a remote-controlled combat module for the 12.7 mm NSVT machine gun, specifically for operations in the ATO zone. By 2019, they had refined their design, creating a new version of the mobile platform with enhanced drive systems and updated software, directly responding to feedback from military operators. In 2023, the company took significant steps by establishing the research and production enterprise, focusing on further advancements and improvements to its existing platforms. One of the key innovations includes the development of new impact modules for various weapons, including the Browning M2 machine gun and the MK 19 grenade launcher.

The UMP «Ravlyk» stands out for its modular design, allowing it to adapt to various mission requirements without the need for structural changes. This flexibility extends to the installation of different armament modules, ranging from machine guns up to 12.7 mm to grenade launchers up to 40 mm. This adaptability ensures that the platform can be quickly reconfigured to meet evolving battlefield needs.

The UMP «Ravlyk» offers several key advantages: resistance to electronic warfare, ensuring reliability in hostile environments; a digital control channel, providing secure and precise remote operation; and extended observation capabilities, allowing it to remain at observation posts for up to 96 hours with minimal heat signature, reducing the risk of detection. Additionally, it has been tested and certified by the National Research Institute for Testing and Certification of Weapons and Military Equipment in 2023, confirming its performance and reliability.

In the summer of 2023, the UMP-1 «Ravlyk» underwent rigorous field testing with the 5th Separate Assault Brigade in Kostiantynivka, Donetsk region. The feedback from these tests was overwhelmingly positive, highlighting the platform's effectiveness and operational reliability in real combat conditions.
