Critical Infrastructure Technologies and Terma A/S Form Strategic Partnership to Combat Drone Threats in European Airspace
Critical Infrastructure Technologies Ltd. has signed a confidentiality agreement with Danish defense company Terma A/S to develop rapid-deployment counter-drone systems addressing the growing threat of unauthorized drones in EU airspace, particularly around airports.
Critical Infrastructure Technologies Ltd. has executed a Mutual Non-Disclosure Agreement with Terma A/S, a leading Danish defense and security company, marking a significant step in addressing the escalating threat of unauthorized drones in European airspace. The collaboration comes at a critical time as airports and other sensitive locations across the EU face increasing security challenges from aerial intrusions.
The partnership will leverage CiTech's fully autonomous 20-metre Nexus tower, which can be relocated within one hour, combined with Terma's advanced surveillance and sensor technologies. This integrated solution represents a powerful countermeasure to the aerial threats currently affecting the region. The rapid deployment capability of the Nexus platform addresses the urgent need for flexible security infrastructure that can respond to evolving threats in real-time.
The NDA establishes a secure framework for exchanging proprietary and technical information between the two companies, supporting discussions toward future collaboration opportunities involving CiTech's advanced technologies and platforms. Both companies are now preparing a Memorandum of Understanding to formalize their growing relationship and outline areas of deeper technical cooperation. This expanded partnership will focus on joint solution development to address emerging defense and security challenges across Europe and globally.
Brenton Scott, CEO of CiTech, emphasized the strategic importance of this collaboration, stating that the agreement with Terma represents an important step forward in expanding CiTech's international partnerships with recognized leaders in defense and aerospace technology. The partnership underscores CiTech's growing network of international relationships as part of its ongoing development of the Nexus platform and other advanced solutions serving defense, government, border security, surveillance, and critical infrastructure applications.
The collaboration between CiTech and Terma comes as European authorities grapple with the increasing sophistication and frequency of drone incidents near critical infrastructure. Terma, with its global reputation for engineering excellence and mission-critical solutions, brings decades of experience in defense and aerospace applications to the partnership. The company develops mission-critical products, systems, and services for defense, aerospace, and security applications, serving customers worldwide in areas including radar systems, command and control solutions, space technology, and electronic warfare.
CiTech, listed on the CSE with operations in Perth, Western Australia, specializes in creating autonomous, high-capacity, rapidly deployable technology that delivers essential services to where they are needed most. The company's self-deploying platform addresses two of the greatest limitations of current rapidly deployable communication solutions: tower strength and the ability to rapidly self-deploy and operate in numerous situations.
