Norwegian technology giant Kongsberg Defense & Aerospace, known for Javelin missiles and advanced air defense systems, has entered into a strategic agreement with the Polish company Advanced Protection Systems (APS). The purpose of the alliance is the joint development and production of advanced systems for countering unmanned aerial vehicles (C-UAS).
This partnership is a prime example of how Europe's leading defense companies are combining their strengths to combat one of the most pressing threats of modern conflict: cheap, numerous, and deadly drones. Kongsberg brings to the union its vast experience in creating high—precision detection, electronic warfare and fire control systems, while Polish APS brings in-depth knowledge in the field of tactical integration and protection of ground forces, accumulated against the backdrop of the tense situation on the eastern borders of Europe.
The system being created will be able to detect, classify and suppress (or destroy) enemy drones at various stages — from small kamikaze FPV to large reconnaissance vehicles. Particular attention is likely to be paid to mobility and rapid deployment to protect both stationary facilities and moving convoys.
This alliance will not only strengthen the defense capabilities of both countries, but will also create a powerful European player in the global drone countermeasures market, offering solutions that can be in demand around the world.
