Vaubren exists so that free nations keep the means to defend themselves: the aircraft, the autonomy, and the industry behind them.
Vaubren builds the aircraft, the autonomy software and the production capacity that let European and allied forces field unmanned systems at the speed of the threat. Designed in Europe, built in Europe and answerable to the democracies they defend.
While legacy programs wait on requirements and tenders, we design for the fight that exists now: contested spectrum, denied navigation, adversaries who iterate in months. Speed, scale and sovereignty are the advantage.
The threats facing open societies are industrial: drones in mass, electronic warfare on every front, adversaries who iterate in months while defense programs take decades. Meeting them takes more than one clever system. It takes military infrastructure built at commercial speed.
We founded Vaubren in 2026 to build that infrastructure: aircraft, the autonomy that flies them, and the systems that bind them into one force. Everything we ship is built with allies, for allies, in defense of open societies.
IN-HOUSE PRODUCTIONA deterrent only deters if the adversary believes it can be replaced by morning. We are building systems at commercial speed, in numbers that matter, on our own continent.
MISSION OPERATIONSOperators set the target, the rules of engagement, and the abort conditions before launch. Our software decides how to finish the mission, never whether there is one.
Every Vaubren system executes inside operator-defined bounds, never beyond them.
Critical autonomy should be built inside the alliance it defends, never imported from the adversaries it must deter.
Design changes should reach the production line in days. A slow deterrent is a museum piece.
Free nations keep their freedom of action by owning the means to defend it.
Vaubren is an early-stage European defence technology company developing Vanguard, a rapid-response autonomous interceptor; Citadel, the autonomy and command software that runs every Vaubren system; and the Arsenal, a planned 64,000 m² production, test and flight-operations campus in Bulgaria.
We supply NATO members and close partners only. We build to NATO’s principles of responsible use for autonomy and AI, and every system we ship executes inside operator-defined bounds. Read our responsible-autonomy policy
