STARK

Real-time ISR delivering precision strikes. Developed in Germany and battle-proven in Ukraine, STARK and Quantum Systems have combined VECTOR’s ISR with VIRTUS’s precision strike capability, turning intelligence into action within minutes. Our mission is clear: equip our partners on the front lines with a scalable Recce-Strike solution built for modern, multi-domain missions.

We are looking forward to joining DSEI UK 2025 this September in London. We’ll be showcasing our flagship loitering munition #Virtus, our mission control software #Minerva, and our portfolio of warheads developed with TDW Gesellschaft für verteidigungstechnische Wirksysteme mbH. To explore our systems, talk about specific mission requirements, or find out how we are scaling production across Europe, connect with our team: Mike A, Philip Lockwood, Siôn Rowlands, Yves Augustus, Richard Pass, Mateo Schulze-Vorberg.

From Space to the Frontline: I’m delighted to be delivering a keynote speech at #Mission‑K 2025 on how STARK leverages space-based capabilities to enhance our unmanned systems. I’ll share insights on how communication and navigation technologies are transforming operations in every domain, in Ukraine and beyond.  If you’re passionate about space and defense technology, I highly recommend checking out #Mission‑K 2025: https://mission-k.de/ #MissionK #Space #Defense #SoftwareDefinedDefense #Innovation #STARK

STARK x TDW: Ready for what’s next. Today we announced a strategic partnership with TDW Gesellschaft für verteidigungstechnische Wirksysteme mbH to develop and deliver next-generation warheads for STARK’s loitering munition Virtus — effective against reactive armor and designed for mass production. Together, we’re investing in scale, speed, and delivery. #MadeInGermany #DefenseTech #Bundeswehr

Virtus launches vertically wherever it’s needed. Here are some of our favourite launch surfaces: No extra weight. No extra gear.

Proud to join our partners Quantum Systems and ARX Robotics in hosting NATO’s Drone Capability Coalition, showcasing how our mission-ready systems deliver reconnaissance and strike capabilities.

🇬🇧 London, are you ready to set the pace?
