TEKEVER

TEKEVER is a European technology company that works on autonomous systems. It describes itself as a provider of AI-driven autonomy for civil and defence missions. It is based in Lisbon, Portugal, and in October 2026 it announced a launch in Germany with Munich as its strategic hub.

The company's unmanned aerial systems business offers mission-oriented product lines, along with data and intelligence services. Its aircraft include the AR3, the long-endurance AR5 and the ARX. The AR5 is described as a long-endurance uncrewed aerial system for patrolling, surveillance and intelligence work.

TEKEVER's missions include electronic warfare, with autonomous collaborative electronic warfare. They also cover near-shore and maritime missions such as shipborne surveillance and maritime security, along with protecting marine wildlife, preventing and monitoring wildfires, and fighting piracy in the Gulf of Guinea.

ATLAS provides real-time intelligence as a service. The company also works on operations in highly contested environments where satellite navigation may be denied.

Recent contracts include a programme worth up to 400 million pounds to bring the AR5 into service with the British Army as part of the CORVUS battlefield intelligence capability. A contract with the Portuguese Air Force covers AR5 systems for maritime surveillance, security, defence and monitoring of the exclusive economic zone. The company also announced the purchase of its UAS systems by the United States Special Operations Command.

The company raised up to 580 million US dollars in a Series D round at a 6.4 billion dollar valuation, led by UC Investments and Baillie Gifford, with Merlyn Advisors joining. It has also acquired Flowcopter in Bristol, which brings hydraulic transmission propulsion technology, and it signed a memorandum of understanding with Threod Systems of Estonia.

Its investments in the UK and France are reported to be worth 400 million pounds and 200 million euros.
