Destinus and TNO are targeting Europe’s interceptor seeker bottleneck directly. Their planned Dutch venture would industrialise active RF radar seekers for air-defence interceptors, supporting guidance performance, production sovereignty, and counter-drone scalability.
-
Pacific Defense will develop the Army’s Block 2 APNT card. The SOSA and CMOSS-aligned 3U VPX design supports resilient navigation and timing when GPS is degraded, disrupted, or denied.
-
Xiphera will develop high-speed security IP for ESA satellite links. The project targets secure optical satellite links of up to 100Gbit/s, tying space communications resilience to hardware-based cryptography.
-
Kongsberg has secured overseas work protecting critical infrastructure below water. The project focuses on underwater surveillance and protection, linking naval sensors, cyber-physical resilience, subsea monitoring, and time-critical decision support.
-
South Korea’s SATURN reset extends secure-radio work nationally to 2032. The revised programme exposes the industrial limits created by protected waveforms, export controls, and domestic tactical communications integration.
-
Finland is putting counter-drone networking onto mobile frontline border platforms. Nokia Defense will support secure connectivity across patrol vehicles, boats, sensors, command systems, and real-time response workflows.
-
Ukraine is converting captured Russian weapons into engineering intelligence assets. TrophyLab gives approved partners access to technical data, samples, and research for countermeasure development.
-
BAE Systems has demonstrated the Endura processor’s radiation-hardened space performance. Trusted microelectronics remain a central constraint in resilient defence satellites.
-
Marconi has completed Swedish trials of its Archer troposcatter system. The test highlights demand for resilient networks beyond satellite dependency.
-
US cyber deadlines are turning encryption into a contractor issue. The move toward post-quantum cryptography will force defence suppliers to map algorithms, certificates, embedded systems, software, communications links, manufacturing networks, and long-life platform support.
