Terma

Terma A/S is a Danish defence and aerospace electronics group headquartered in Aarhus, with approximately 1,700 employees and annual revenues around DKK 3 billion. Founded in 1949, Terma's core product lines span electronic warfare systems, radar signal processing, mission computers for fighter aircraft (including F-35 and F-16), and Counter-UAS sensor payloads. The company is an established tier-one supplier to Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, and multiple European primes, and has a long-standing integration role in NATO air-defence networks across the Nordic-Baltic region.

Terma's counter-drone work centres on its C-UAS sensor suites, which combine radar, electro-optical, and acoustic detection into integrated tracking systems deployable on fixed and mobile platforms. Its electronic warfare heritage — including the Terma SKRATTA decoy system and airborne EW pods — provides a technical foundation for jamming and spoofing-based drone defeat, complementing its sensor portfolio. Terma equipment is qualified on the Danish, Norwegian, and Dutch armed forces' platforms, giving it a NATO-certified interoperability baseline that smaller C-UAS startups cannot match.

In the context of the Baltic drone crisis and the EU's push for a unified alert architecture , Terma's position as a regional incumbent with qualified hardware across Nordic-Baltic militaries is commercially significant. The company occupies a strategic niche between the large US primes building enterprise C-UAS platforms and the European startups commercialising Ukrainian combat lessons — a position that makes it a likely system integrator or sensor supplier in Baltic member-state C-UAS programmes funded under the EU AGILE mechanism or bilateral procurement.
