A factory in Riga, Latvia, has started producing Mark I anti-drone missiles by Frankenburg Technologies with planned expansion across Europe to mass-produce up to one million missiles annually.
Frankenburg Technologies has opened a factory in Riga, Latvia, for manufacturing Mark I anti-drone air defense missiles. The Riga plant assembles missile electronics and warheads and covers nearly 1,000 square meters, employing 50 people. Production capacity is expected to reach 100 missiles per day by the end of 2026, in conjunction with a planned final assembly plant in Adazi, Latvia. The company plans to produce 1,500 missiles in 2026 and aims to expand production to Estonia, the United Kingdom, and Poland, with a target of one million missiles per year in total and 10,000 missiles annually in Poland. The Mark I missile operates on a fire-and-forget principle with capability to engage targets at up to 2 km range and 1.5 km altitude, offering a cost reduction in drone interception by more than tenfold, enabling mass production for supply to Europe and other allies.
Confidence: High
The data describes industrial and defense production capacity expansion for anti-drone missile systems in Latvia as part of European defense readiness without indication of hostile actions.
