new essay on defense testing in europe (and how these pains are limiting rearmament)

thanks to everyone who contributed your experience on background

@MartinRosenkra3 Higher = easier to detect for radar
Lower = harder to detect for radar

News! @airstreet has raised $232,323,232 for Fund III to back AI-first companies from the earliest stages in the US and Europe.

Now the largest solo GP venture firm in Europe.

Our third epoch begins today. Join us!

A jammer that denies GNSS needs a platform that does not depend on it.

Delian and Polar Mist Technologies completed the first live integration of our M4K15 electronic warfare suite aboard Polar Mist's USV.

Polar Mist's USV navigates autonomously without GNSS, making it the ideal carrier for electronic warfare payloads, like the M4K15, that deny it to everyone else.

Autonomous detection and disruption of hostile drones at sea. No crew exposed. No manned platform at risk.

@drlorenzmeier Great to see you are still building hands on @drlorenzmeier !

Detecting enemy fire 5 years ahead of schedule should make life a lot simpler on the battlefield….

The future of Electronic Warfare is unmanned

Delian Alliance Industries (@delian_ai) and Polar Mist Technologies (@polarmistai) have signed a Collaboration Agreement to strengthen European autonomous counter-drone architecture in the maritime domain by integrating Delian’s EW CUAS solution onto Polar Mist’s USV.

This collaboration brings two complementary systems together.

* Polar Mist’s unique USV system designed for ease of manufacturing and flexible payloads

* Delian’s ‘smart jamming’ tactical capabilities through its M4K15 platform

The future of warfare will be dominated by unmanned systems. Projecting tactical EW capabilities at mass scale without exposing a human operator or manned platforms to direct risk will be a critical differentiator, unlocking new and innovative deterrence tactics for the West and its allies.

Delian will be at the Munich Security Forum (@MunSecConf) from the 10th to the 15th of February.

If you are working on border security, Allied procurement, or defense industrial capacity, let's meet in Munich.

Message us to schedule time.

@nathanbenaich In order to speed up defence procurement and decrease bureaucracy we made a law, its actually really short and catchy: "Bundeswehrbeschaffungsbeschleunigungsgesetz"...

Revisionist powers don't stop at -20°C.

Neither does the LAST counter-drone system.

All we want for Christmas is grounded drones.

Autonomous threats demand autonomous defense.

Germany 🇩🇪 is about to overtake the US 🇺🇸 in strike drone production. We need more and we will make more.

Our UK Team has been selected for @NATO's DIANA 2026 Challenge Programme with OSIRIS, our GPS-denied navigation system for UAV navigation.

No GPS. No problem.

@brian_armstrong Are import tariffs on essentially the entire world a form of regulation?
