Following a competitive assessment of more than 140 expressions of interest, five companies have been selected to advance to operational experimentation: Helsing (Germany), Destinus (Netherlands), C-Astral Aerospace (Slovenia), UAVision (Portugal) and SAS Tech (Greece). The remaining companies in the top ten are Renegade UxS (Denmark), Robotto.ai (Denmark), Cerberon Defence Systems (Germany), Thales LAS (France) and ALTUS LSA S.A. (Greece).
