Seeing the Battlefield – Farsight Vision and the Power of Geospatial Digital Twins

In this episode of the Defense Tech Lisbon Podcast, host Maria Beckers speaks with Viktoriia Yaremchuk, CEO and Co-founder of Farsight Vision, a Ukrainian startup building breakthrough solutions in geospatial intelligence and digital twin technology. Viktoriia shares how her team is creating real-time, high-precision battlefield maps using drone footage and edge-processing devices — enabling faster, safer, and more autonomous situational awareness, even in GPS-denied or contested environments. We explore how digital twins, AI-powered detection, and VR-based mission planning are reshaping modern defence strategy. From navigating warzone innovation to the ethics of autonomous tech and the future of European strategic autonomy, this conversation reveals the human story behind frontier defence technology. Recorded in the lead-up to the Defense Tech Meetup in Lisbon, and produced by the Black Swan Initiative.
