Defense Drone Startups Take Off - Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has profoundly altered how Europe conceives of war.

German companies are at the forefront of the battle, but they are not alone.

ekever, a Portuguese entity with offices in the UK, the US, and France, manufactures a variety of drones that are quickly tested in Ukraine. British startups are also redesigning the battlefield.

Kraken Technologies has two plants in the UK and, soon, a third in Hamburg, Germany. Its star product, K3 Scout, is an autonomous unmanned surface vehicle that can carry various weapon platforms onto the high seas.
