SKYLD SECURITY AND DEFENCE LTD, a leading SME based in Cyprus, continues to expand its operational footprint across Europe with a series of successful UAV field deployments under major EU-funded defence and security research projects.
Our growing fleet of UAV platforms, including coaxial multirotor systems such as the MX860, is actively integrated into real-world testing environments—demonstrating advanced performance, resilience, and adaptability for mission-critical operations.
These deployments support SKYLD’s active participation in cutting-edge European projects, including:
- EURMARS (Horizon Europe) – Leveraging AI-enabled UAVs for enhanced maritime and border surveillance, low-altitude sensing, and autonomous detection.
- COMMANDS (EDF) – Enabling seamless integration of UAV data into next-generation command-and-control systems.
- SUNRISE (EDF) – Delivering ISR (Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance) capabilities through drone-based platforms embedded in tactical networks.
Each UAV mission is carefully designed to meet the operational needs of multi-domain environments, with emphasis on mobility, payload versatility, and all-weather performance. Recent demonstrations also showcased the performance of the MX860, a robust coaxial UAV platform with waterproof protection, redundant power systems, and up to 9kg payload capacity—one of several platforms in SKYLD’s expanding fleet.
Through these activities, SKYLD reaffirms its position at the forefront of European innovation in unmanned aerial systems for defence and dual-use applications.Explore SKYLD’s role in Europe’s next-generation defence ecosystem:
