Summary

Latvian defense tech startup Origin Robotics and Estonian defence company DefsecIntel Solutions announced a Memorandum of Understanding to launch the Baltic Drone Wall, Europe’s first operational cross-border system to detect and defeat hostile drones, enhancing protection of Europe’s eastern flank. The system combines Origin Robotics’ autonomous drone interceptor Blaze, featuring AI-driven target tracking and destruction capabilities, with DefsecIntel's advanced long-range radar, electronic warfare, and multi-layer sensor fusion technologies. This integrated and modular Counter Unmanned Aerial Systems (C-UAS) solution is designed to counter a variety of UAVs including loitering munitions, fixed-wing reconnaissance drones, and swarming tactics. Key to modern warfare, the system addresses rapid UAV threat escalation and is supported by operational insights from Ukraine, Defense Estonia Cluster, and Baltic State partners. Origin Robotics recently launched another interceptor 'Beak' and has demonstrated expertise with deployment in Ukrainian and NATO forces. Origin Robotics closed a €4 million financing round in 2022 totaling €24 million with EU grants and Latvian Ministry of Defence support, and has obtained European Defense Fund approval for €4.5 million to develop targeted unmanned technology. The initiative is co-funded by ERDF under 'Development of Innovative Entrepreneurship in Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises'.
