Unmanned.

The unmanned domain has changed faster than any other category in defence over the past decade. What was once a specialist capability – UAV reconnaissance, autonomous vehicles, robotic systems – has become a baseline expectation in modern operations. With it has come a parallel demand: the ability to defend against the same systems in the hands of an adversary. The equipment we curate under this domain addresses both sides of that reality.

WHAT THIS DOMAIN COVERS.

UAVs and counter-UAV systems for tactical and operational use, plus control modules for unmanned surface and underwater platforms. The two halves of the unmanned domain – deployment and defence – increasingly need to be considered together rather than separately. A unit that uses UAVs for reconnaissance is also a target for adversary UAVs. The two focus brands together address that operational reality.

GLOBAL MARK.

Manufacturer of unmanned aerial systems for tactical operations, with a portfolio that includes both deployable UAVs and counter-UAV solutions. Global Mark is in our portfolio because it covers both sides of unmanned operations within a single manufacturer relationship – UAV deployment and counter-UAV defence – which simplifies procurement and operational training for the end-user.

SIEL.

Italian manufacturer of control systems for unmanned platforms, with a focus on modules for unmanned surface and underwater vehicles. SIEL is in our portfolio as a component supplier – their control modules integrate into platforms built by other manufacturers, drawing on the same engineering depth that underpins their diving equipment.
