NRP D. João II — operational support & capability fit-out
Portugal's first dedicated drone-carrier (ex-MV Atlantico) entered service in 2026. Sub-tenders for ISR sensors, tethered drones, EO/IR payloads, and counter-drone protection are expected to roll out from Q3 2026 onward through Marinha Portuguesa and idD Portugal.
ANA Aeroportos — C-UAS detection pilot
ANA (Portugal's airport operator, VINCI-owned) is piloting counter-drone detection capability at major airports. Operational procurement is expected to follow successful pilot phase, likely 2027.
European Defence Fund — C-UAS technology development calls
EDF 2026 calls include counter-UAS capability development streams that consortia involving Iberian primes and Nordic SMEs are well-positioned to bid. Sweden's €230M C-UAS national programme has signalled procurement direction; equivalent Iberian programmes typically follow with a 12-18 month lag.
