Nexus C2

Nexus C2 is an open-architecture command-and-control software platform developed in the Netherlands for managing multiple unmanned systems across a shared operational picture. In May 2026, the Netherlands Ministry of Defence finalised integration of Nexus C2 with the Intelic BASE Dutch drone marketplace, creating a procurement-to-operation pipeline for European militaries. The platform is designed to aggregate data from diverse drone types and sensors into a unified command interface — a capability that addresses one of the critical operational gaps exposed in Baltic c-UAS exercises where different national systems cannot interoperate.

Nexus C2's significance is its open-architecture approach: unlike closed US systems such as Anduril's Lattice, Nexus C2 is built to integrate with NATO-standard data links and existing national command systems without requiring a platform-specific lock-in. The Netherlands MoD's adoption provides a European sovereign C2 reference architecture that smaller Baltic nations can adopt without the political and commercial constraints of US platform dependency.
