European Companies Launch New Products Amid Ongoing Conflict
Several European companies are promoting their laser solutions for unmanned aerial vehicles, seeking to fill a critical technology gap for Ukraine’s defense. Lithuania’s Aktyvus Photonics and Estonia’s Threod Systems are among those launching new products, with the latter unveiling a new-generation small VTOL drone with laser designation capability. The demand for these systems is driven by Ukraine’s reliance on small drones for targeting, and the companies are using feedback from operators in Ukraine to enhance their products.
