The order covers the production and supply of ground-based command, control and launch systems forming part of a layered counter-drone (C-UAS) architecture. Deliveries are scheduled to begin in 2026, with production taking place at Kitron’s European manufacturing facilities.
“The C-UAS market is evolving at pace, and our customers need a partner who can match that speed and agility. This order reflects our ability to mobilize quickly — we are significantly scaling up ground station capacity to meet immediate demand — while delivering mission-critical systems without compromising on quality or reliability,” says Mindaugas Sestokas, Vice President Central Eastern Europe.
The contract adds to Kitron’s growing order backlog in the Defense/Aerospace market sector and is consistent with the company’s long-term ambition to grow revenues toward EUR 1.5 billion, as communicated at its Capital Markets Presentation in December 2025.
