    Trinity Robotics develops the Konyk ONE unmanned ground vehicle, a modular platform configured for logistics, evacuation and mining/demining tasks with optional weapon mounts, additional armour and specialised software. Konyk ONE carries up to 300 kg of cargo and can travel 45 km on a single charge under full load; it fits into a pickup truck and operates in various weather conditions using Starlink, LTE and autonomous GPS modules for communications and navigation. The company produces up to 70 systems per month and plans to scale to over 150 units monthly to meet growing orders. Konyk ONE is reported to be in use by more than 20 military units. Trinity plans to expand beyond UGVs into air and sea unmanned solutions to build an ecosystem of unmanned systems. The recent funding will support scaling production capacity and expanding R&D to accelerate new product development.
