The Fourth Law and Odd Systems unveiled Project Foundation on October 9, 2026, to mass-produce uncooled thermal sensors across Europe and the United States. Tech.eu, Interfax-Ukraine, dev.ua, Kyiv Post, and Defender Media all reported that the two companies launched the semiconductor initiative to build a new manufacturing base for military and industrial uses. [1][2][3][4][5]

Project Foundation is headquartered in Eindhoven, according to Tech.eu. The initiative plans to scale the production of uncooled infrared sensors designed for drones, robotics, automotive platforms, and industrial machinery. [1]

The project aims to expand European thermal sensor production to four times its current volume within three years, Tech.eu reported. Tech.eu added that the effort also intends to double production in the United States over the same period to secure supply chain sovereignty for both regions. [1]

Odd Systems was founded by Yaroslav Azhnyuk, dev.ua reported. Interfax-Ukraine and dev.ua both noted that both companies behind the project are based in Ukraine. [2][3]
