Autonomous Systems: Land & Sea: Denmark hands Dropla Tech 12 armed UGVsBackground
Dropla Tech won a 22.4m kroner award from Denmark's Defence Acquisition and Logistics Organisation for twelve armed six-wheeled uncrewed ground vehicles with sensor packages and weapon stations, published on 26 October 2026. Denmark used the crisis exemption in Directive 2009/81/EC, citing the war in Ukraine, and Dropla sent the only bid.
Founded in July 2023 by Ukrainian entrepreneurs, the company is registered in Aarhus and has engineering and production in Ukraine. It builds 4x4 and 6x6 ground robots. Danish defence had already bought nine Dropla 4x4 vehicles to train conscript operators at the Danish Defence Drone Center.
In July 2026, after an investment from MITS Capital, Dropla said it planned capacity for up to 3,000 robots a year.
