MBDA and Ukrainian Armor move deep-strike cooperation towards European industrialisation. The partnership links missile expertise with Ukrainian production experience under wartime demand.
-
Airbus and Quantum Systems will link helicopters with drone interceptors. The cooperation starts with H145M integration work and connects rotary-wing platforms to Europe’s expanding counter-UAS industrial base.
-
Keysight will manage Leonardo UK test equipment across defence sites. The five-year agreement covers calibration, repair, lifecycle management, and digital asset coordination for engineering and production teams.
-
Honeywell will power Swarm Aero’s large autonomous UAS production plans. The TPE331 selection gives the Group 5 aircraft programme a mature propulsion base as Swarm builds manufacturing capacity in Arkansas.
-
Marshall Aerospace has advanced Horizon’s Cavorite X7 control-system development programme. The work gives the hybrid-electric VTOL programme a flight dynamics model to support control laws, safety analysis, and certification planning.
-
Volklec is moving UK battery cells toward defence platforms directly. AMBERS brings together Volklec, Ricardo, and Hyperbat to develop a modular battery route for high-performance automotive and defence electrification.
-
US loitering-munition production is gaining a domestic Israeli-designed route now. Palladyne AI and Israel Aerospace Industries will adapt HARPY, HAROP, and Mini HARPY systems for US defence customers and assembly pathways.
-
STARK has widened Europe’s options for attritable strike drone production. Cascade and Gambit add tube-launched, quadcopter, and swarm-enabled systems to a market increasingly defined by cost, iteration speed, and manufacturing scale.
-
Spain is building swarm autonomy into its defence UAV base. FENIX brings together domestic platform, guidance, navigation, and research capabilities to develop heterogeneous drone swarms for reconnaissance and surveillance in complex environments.
-
Airbus is pushing European military drone production toward broader families. Its ILA Berlin portfolio spans autonomous helicopters, tactical systems, and collaborative combat aircraft, setting uncrewed capability against strained future fighter programmes.
