Critical Infrastructure Technologies and Babcock International Partner to Develop Rapidly Deployable Defense Platform for Ukraine
TL;DR
CiTech's partnership with Babcock provides a strategic advantage by scaling Nexus 20 platforms across Ukraine and Eastern Europe, positioning it as a NATO benchmark capability.
The Nexus 20 platform self-deploys from a 20-foot container, adapts to uneven terrain, and integrates 5G communications, ISR, and counter-UAS capabilities for mission-critical operations.
This collaboration enhances security and communication for Ukrainian forces, contributing to a safer region and supporting critical defense capabilities where needed most.

Critical Infrastructure Technologies Ltd. (CSE: CTTT) (FRA: X9V) has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with Babcock International Group to co-develop and build a rapidly deployable platform for the Ukrainian Armed Forces. The agreement, signed at the Defence and Security Equipment International expo in London, focuses on supplying 50 of CiTech's Nexus 20 platforms in response to a request from the Ukrainian Ministry of Defence.
The solution will be delivered in a 20-foot containerized format that is transportable by truck. Once deployed, the system will provide 5G communications, counter-Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS), and Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) capability. It features the ability to self-unload and adapt to sloping or uneven terrain while deploying a 20-meter cyclone-rated tower to support mission-critical operations. Additional plans under the MOU include exploring the development of a Nexus 20 assembly hub in Eastern Europe and further opportunities across NATO's Eastern Flank.
Mark Goldsack, Babcock's International Director, stated that the partnership demonstrates their commitment to supporting Ukraine and will deliver rapidly deployable communications, counter-UAS, and ISR capabilities while expanding their Eastern Europe footprint with a dedicated assembly hub. Brenton Scott, CEO of CiTech, emphasized that partnering with Babcock International unlocks a pathway for the Nexus 20 to be rapidly scaled across Ukraine and Eastern Europe, positioning it as a benchmark capability across NATO's Eastern Flank.
This collaboration represents a significant advancement in defense technology, providing critical infrastructure support where it is needed most. The integration of 5G communications with counter-UAS and ISR capabilities in a rapidly deployable format addresses urgent defense needs while establishing a framework for future regional expansion. The development of an Eastern European assembly hub could create local employment opportunities and strengthen supply chain resilience in the region.
