Milrem Robotics and Frankenburg Technologies have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) at Eurosatory 2026 to cooperate on next-generation unmanned counter-uncrewed aerial systems (C-UAS) capabilities.
The cooperation will focus on integrating Frankenburg’s Mark I missile — a compact precision-guided interceptor designed specifically for affordable and scalable counter-UAS operations — onto Milrem’s unmanned ground platforms.
“By combining affordable guided interceptors with unmanned mobile platforms, the companies aim to create a new category of distributed short-range air defence solutions designed to protect critical national infrastructure and military installations against increasingly large-scale drone threats,” said Milrem in a press release. “Such systems would be capable of autonomously repositioning, rapidly engaging aerial threats, and sustaining distributed short-range air defence coverage at significantly lower cost than conventional air defence solutions.
Frankenburg’s Mark I is a mass-manufacturable guided interceptor missile, addressing a rapidly growing market need driven by the proliferation of low-cost aerial threats. “Built for scalable industrial production using commercially available components, Mark I reduces short-range intercept costs by more than 10 times compared to conventional systems,” according to the press statement.
Additionally, the Memorandum of Understanding establishes a framework for conducting joint trials and demonstrations, exploring industrial cooperation, including the localisation of capabilities and potential production pathways, and joint marketing and promotion of the combined capability to defence and security customers.
The companies aim to conduct a joint system demonstration within approximately twelve months.
