Defence Tech Companies in Austria

Austria's industrial contribution to European defence is concentrated in unmanned systems, with Vienna-based Schiebel the standout name. Its Camcopter S-300 was selected in January 2025 as the dedicated UAS for the Thales-led SEACURE consortium, a 35-company European Defence Fund project for anti-submarine warfare and seabed protection. Austria's parliament approved an 18 per cent increase in the defence ministry budget for 2025 and committed to reaching 2 per cent of GDP by 2032.
