All Sensors & EW Companies in the Netherlands
Eindhoven AI hardware company building Metis and Europa inference accelerators for edge security, robotics, space and high-performance compute applications with European supply-chain resilience.
Develops deployable computer vision software for drone platforms and counter-UAS systems, covering detection, GNSS-independent navigation and autonomous interception in contested environments.
Builds 3D radar systems that detect, track and classify small flying objects — birds, bats and drones — for military, airport, wind farm and critical infrastructure customers worldwide.
Dutch smallsat manufacturer building CubeSat platforms and satellite systems from Delft. Has launched 101 satellites and delivered 784 subsystems. Signed a framework agreement with the Dutch Ministry of Defence to develop, build, and launch military reconnaissance satellites.
SINTEG Systems is a TU Delft spin-off developing advanced inspection technologies for composite structures. Their wireless sensor systems enable in-situ, real-time, and non-intrusive evaluation of composite materials using innovative ultrasound-based inspection technology, providing quantifiable assessment of material integrity.
Hand-crafts high-performance quadcopter and multirotor drones for military and government use from its facility in Uden. Supplies the Royal Netherlands Army with Zoe M4 tactical UAVs for real-time 2D and 3D mapping in combat operations.
Aircision develops high-capacity free-space optical communication systems for fast-deployable, long-distance and secure wireless backhaul links.
Space instrumentation company building electro-optical payloads and hyperspectral imaging systems for satellites. Developing the Valk very-high-resolution EO instrument for the Dutch military's PAMI-1 ISR satellite, scheduled to launch in 2027. Founded 1998, ~65 employees across Sassenheim, Berlin, and Benevento.
Delft Dynamics develops unmanned aircraft systems and counter-drone systems, including interceptor drones, drone platforms and engineering services.
Designs and manufactures bird-shaped fixed-wing drones that mimic the form and flight of birds of prey for covert military surveillance. Originally pioneered live eagle counter-drone interception with Dutch police before pivoting to biomimetic UAV production.
Develops battlefield acoustic sensors using MEMS-based Acoustic Vector Sensor technology for 3D detection and localisation of gunfire, rockets, artillery and vehicles. Supplies the Royal Netherlands Army with RAM-SCORE counter-battery systems.
Builds manufacturing capacity, multi-domain sensing and networked systems to rebuild Europe's defence industrial base.
Leads fiber optic sensing technology providing ultra-sensitive early warning systems for defence and energy sectors. Specializes in state-of-the-art sensing systems.
Develops AI-driven radar perception software for autonomous vehicles, robots, and aerospace applications, providing LiDAR-like performance at a fraction of the cost.
Develops compact edge-AI navigation modules for GPS-denied environments, sized at 50x50x20mm and weighing 50 grams. The SignalVoid system uses visual odometry matched against satellite imagery to achieve 20-metre accuracy without any satellite link across 1,000 km2 maps.
