This video shows our Mark I missile in an air-to-air system configuration undergoing ground test firings. All part of our risk reduction strategy to derisk air-to-air launch dynamics: rail/pylon configuration, safe separation, and transition to stable flight. From the outset, one of Frankenburg Technologies’ core tenets has been that, to maximise warfighting pace, you need to enable utility. Our Mark I missile exemplifies that. The Mark I has not only been designed to be platform agnostic, but also domain agnostic. Land, Sea, and Air: each with their own challenges and adaptations to our core system, delivered by Frankenburg and enabled by our industry partners. #WinTech #MissileDefence

Frankenburg leads EU-backed development of a new class of drone-based air-to-ground missile precision strike systems Frankenburg Technologies has been selected by European Defence Fund (EDF), Europe’s core defence R&D initiative, to deliver the 24-month EURODAMM (Drone-Based Affordable Mass Munitions) programme. Defending effectively today requires the ability to respond quickly and limit further attacks at their source, before they reach population centres, critical infrastructure, or overwhelm air defence. EURODAMM addresses this by developing affordable precision strike capabilities that can be sustained in real operations, not limited to a few high-cost uses. EURODAMM develops a sovereign, EU-built system combining reusable swarm-capable drones, low-cost attritable missiles, and coordinated targeting and communications, designed for precision strike against ground targets at ranges of up to 50 km beyond the forward edge of the battle area (FEBA). The programme progresses through prototyping and live demonstration to an operationally validated system, with a path to industrial production. Consortium partners across Europe: · @FrankenburgTech (Estonia, coordinator) · Aktyvus Photonics (Lithuania) · Civitta (Poland) · DefSecIntel Solutions (Estonia) · @Fraunhofer (Germany) · @FrankenburgTech (Latvia) · KrattWorks (Estonia) · @mansLMT (Latvia) · Novian Pro (Lithuania) · @SafranElecDef (France) · @TEKEVER (Portugal) · @TeknologiskInst (Denmark) The programme is co-financed by EDF, with additional support from the Ministries of Defence of Estonia, Denmark, and Latvia. €10.5M total | €9M EU funding | 24 months #WinTech

We shouldn’t be using million dollar missiles to stop $20k kamikaze drones. @FrankenburgTech is building itself up to deliver 1 million low-cost, effective air defence missiles every year, like this one being tested here. That’s 100 times more than the West’s current missile industry. Right now, countries are spending between 10 and 100 times more than their attackers to defend against drone and missile threats. That’ll bankrupt even the strongest economies. So, at Frankenburg, our mission is not to be the next generation prime defence contractor. We just want to be the globally leading missile company. We have one job and we want to do it exceptionally well. Frankenburg is doing that in partnerships with @BAESystemsplc, @Babcockplc, @PGZ_pl, and @AirbusDefence @AirbusSpace. More will be revealed soon. I do not think defence is a winner-takes-all market. We win through collaboration and, here in Europe, our strength is in our diversity of countries and competencies. All of us at Team Europe need to focus on core competencies and collaborate deeper, including by learning from partners in Ukraine, the Gulf, and beyond.

The Wall Street Journal: Frankenburg is building a new generation of missile defence, redesigned around cost and production scale. Frankenburg’s Mark I already brings affordability and mass production to a short-range missile defence category where scale has not existed before. · Simplified design focused on the most immediate threats · Use of commercial components where possible · Cost reduced significantly We will deliver the same approach across the entire missile catalogue next.

Airbus & Frankenburg: Mark I missile engages kamikaze drone in first airborne intercept Frankenburg’s Mark I guided interceptor missile has been successfully integrated for air-to-air launch with @AirbusDefence Bird of Prey uncrewed interceptor drone. In a live demonstration, the Bird of Prey autonomously detected and engaged a one-way attack drone using a Mark I missile. This marks the first time a low-cost, mass-manufacturable guided interceptor missile has been deployed from a reusable airborne platform in this way. The integration was completed in just 9 months. This is a defining step for modern air defence: making large-scale interception economically viable. 1) Multiple air-to-air engagements from a single reusable interceptor drone 2) Up to 8 missiles per drone, each weighing less than 2 kg 3) Order-of-magnitude reduction in cost per intercept Full statement: frankenburg.tech/successful-… #WinTech

Bringing Mark I missile into production in Poland with @PGZ_pl We’ve signed an agreement with Polska Grupa Zbrojeniowa, one of Europe’s largest state-owned defence manufacturers, to establish domestic production of the Mark I very-short-range air defence missile system in Poland, building national industrial capacity with a planned output of up to 10,000 missiles per year. Poland is strengthening its sovereign air defence capability, supported by strong government and industrial alignment. It is a privilege to work with PGZ on this. The cooperation also lays the groundwork for the next-generation Mark II missile system, extending interception range to 5–8 km.

Frankenburg joins UK defence leaders reinforcing Gulf air defence under Iranian attacks “We’ve put a huge amount of work into this – long hours, hard engineering, constant iteration – because our partners need a new kind of system: one that can be produced quickly, replenished continuously, and used at scale without breaking budgets when they’re under attack. That’s what we’re building together with our UK team and partners across the UK and the Middle East.” — Dan Hallett, UK Director, Frankenburg Frankenburg is part of a select group of UK defence companies working with government and regional partners to support Gulf states under sustained drone and missile attacks. Our Mark I is the world’s smallest and lowest-cost guided interceptor missile, built from commercially available components and engineered for localised, sovereign mass production. It is designed to cut intercept costs by more than tenfold and to be produced locally at the point of need. UK government press release: gov.uk/government/news/uk-de… #WinTech

“Countries will soon have a choice: go bankrupt or prepare for defence. The current missile industry is simply too expensive. We have assembled key missile engineering talent in Europe to solve this, including chief engineers from some of the continent’s largest missile programs.” – Frankenburg CEO @KustiSalm on @CNBCi this week on Frankenburg’s mission to make modern air defence economically sustainable for the free world. Frankenburg is building Europe’s next-generation missile house, combining leading missile engineering talent with commercial supply chains and industrial manufacturing to develop interceptor systems designed to cut intercept costs by more than tenfold, while enabling local, sovereign industrial-scale production.
