The radar gap killing Western defences — and the Berlin chip startup closing it
Today, Berlin startup Xavveo, a deeptech building perception technology based on a proprietary chip, is expanding to tap fast-growing drone-detection/C-UAV, infrastructure surveillance and perimeter s...
Western nations are actively seeking to close critical gaps in their defence capabilities, particularly in drone detection and counter-UAV technology, driven by recent geopolitical conflicts revealing these vulnerabilities.
This development highlights the strategic importance of advanced perception technology and proprietary chips in modern defence, signaling a significant push towards domestic innovation to secure sensitive defence supply chains.
The reliance on external suppliers for critical radar technology is being reduced through the emergence of European deeptech startups, enhancing defence autonomy and fostering new industrial capabilities within the region.
- · Xavveo
- · European defence sector
- · Deeptech investors
- · National security agencies
- · Legacy defence primes slow to innovate
- · Foreign suppliers of radar technology
- · Adversarial drone operators
Enhanced C-UAV and surveillance capabilities will improve perimeter security for critical infrastructure and military bases.
Increased investment and development in European deeptech, leading to a more resilient and distributed defence industrial base.
Potential for new defence alliances or export controls based on access to these advanced proprietary technologies.
