French Counter-Drone Sector Marks Major Integration: CERBAIR and Delair Announce Strategic Partnership
French counter-drone systems specialist CERBAIR and drone manufacturer Delair have announced a long-term strategic partnership agreement, a collaboration expected to draw significant attention at Eurosatory 2026.
According to an official LinkedIn post from CERBAIR, the agreement is described as "the first major industrial integration between a French drone manufacturer and a counter-drone manufacturer," with the goal of jointly developing a next-generation, sovereign counter-UAS (C-UAS) and integrated aerial electronic warfare solution.
Technology Integration Highlights
The partnership brings together the core technical strengths of both companies:
- CERBAIR: Contributes drone detection, identification, and electromagnetic jamming (EW/soft-kill) capabilities
- Delair: Contributes the ASPIK interceptor drone, equipped with an explosive warhead for hard-kill engagements
By combining soft-kill (jamming) and hard-kill (physical interception) countermeasures, the two companies aim to build a more comprehensive and operationally effective C-UAS combat system.
Industry Significance
As drone threats on the modern battlefield continue to escalate, European nations are accelerating indigenous development of counter-drone technologies. The CERBAIR–Delair partnership represents a significant milestone for France's counter-drone industry and reflects broader European efforts to build autonomous defence capabilities.
Neither company has yet disclosed detailed terms of the agreement or a product release timeline. Further information is expected to be revealed at upcoming defence exhibitions.
