COBBS BELUX, Anduril Industries, and Nokia Belgium have announced the formation of a joint consortium to develop and deploy advanced counter-unmanned aerial system (C-UAS) capabilities in Belgium. “The initiative aims to protect military sites and critical infrastructure nationwide while strengthening Belgian and European defense capabilities,” according to an Anduril press release. “The consortium combines deep operational expertise, autonomous defense technology, and advanced secure communications infrastructure to provide a sovereign, enduring C-UAS capability, designed, developed, and operated locally in Belgium, and built to evolve alongside emerging threats. This approach supports long‑term technological resilience, drives continued innovation, and reinforces the national defense industrial ecosystem.
The consortium’s solution is software-first, designed to respond quickly to emerging drone threats. At its core is a command-and-control (C2) intelligence layer that supports a sophisticated, real-time sensor-data-fusion from multiple sources like radar, optical, RF and acoustic sensors into a unified situational picture with autonomous classification. The C2 component enables one operator to control multiple counter UAS systems, while maintaining human control over critical decisions.

The 2026 Unmanned Airspace Global Counter-UAS Systems Directory is now available. The Guide is the world’s only comprehensive, continually updated directory of global C-UAS companies and systems. It itemises over 1,000 C-UAS products and services with performance details, company sales and partnerships arrangements. It is updated every month and broken down into niche sub-sectors (net-capture, missiles, intercept drones, detectors etc) to give C-UAS procurement and industry personnel a unique perspective of global C-UAS technical capabilities and market positions. It is available in word, PDF and excel formats and Unmanned Airspace readers are eligible for a range of discounts.
