The initiative provides direct access to battlefield-tested drone technologies from across Europe. It is intended to significantly shorten procurement timelines for mission-ready systems.
At launch, the platform connects manufacturers from ten European countries, including France, Germany, the United Kingdom and Ukraine. It offers governments visibility into interoperable capabilities available across the European defence industrial base.
The platform has been developed with input from several European Ministries of Defence. It is designed to address fragmentation in procurement processes across the region.
Participating partners include companies such as Acecore Technologies, Airvolute, Avy, Beyond Vision, DeltaQuad, Height Technologies, Highcat and TAF Industries. These firms represent a broad range of expertise, including intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance, strike and counter-UAV systems.
The consortium also includes unnamed Ukrainian partners with significant production capacity. These partners collectively produce more than 100,000 unmanned aerial systems per month and generate over $1.5 billion in sales.
The platform is described as the first of its kind in Europe. It is inspired by procurement models developed in Ukraine that allow faster comparison and deployment of drone systems.
“Europe already has the industrial capacity and battlefield-proven drone technologies it needs,” said Maurits Korthals Altes. “What has been missing is a shared operational layer that makes those capabilities visible, interoperable and deployable across borders.”
“Strengthening that connection is essential for a stronger Europe,” he added. The platform aims to improve coordination and interoperability across European defence systems.
A central feature of Intelic BASE is integration with Nexus, a shared command-and-control software layer. This enables unmanned systems from different manufacturers to operate together within a single mission environment.
Nexus has been deployed in operational conditions in Ukraine since 2025. It allows coalition drone systems to function cohesively across different platforms and mission types.
By ensuring interoperability before procurement decisions, the platform reduces integration risks. It also supports faster deployment timelines for Ministries of Defence.
The initiative reflects a broader shift toward coalition-based deployment and industrial cooperation. It aims to strengthen coordination within Europe’s defence sector.
Intelic said the platform removes the need for intermediaries in procurement processes. This approach is intended to improve direct engagement between governments and manufacturers.
The company said the platform supports a more resilient and responsive European defence ecosystem. It is designed to enhance the ability of governments to respond to evolving security challenges.
