Critical Infrastructure Technologies Ltd. has executed a mutual non-disclosure agreement with Babcock International Group PLC and Draganfly Inc. to advance a strategic, multi-company collaboration focused on strengthening defence and security capabilities throughout the Asia-Pacific region. The partnership combines complementary expertise across defence engineering, advanced technology integration, unmanned systems, and mission-critical operational delivery to create sophisticated, scalable solutions for governments, military forces, and national-security stakeholders.
The collaboration brings together three organizations with distinct capabilities. Babcock International Group serves as one of the United Kingdom's leading defence primes, delivering mission-critical engineering, naval support, fleet management, training, base operations, and major defence programs. Critical Infrastructure Technologies provides advanced engineering capabilities, mission-system integration, and technology-driven solutions for defence, national security, critical infrastructure, and energy. Draganfly Inc. contributes as an award-winning developer of unmanned aerial systems and sensor-driven data solutions, with recent military sales of Commander 3XL unmanned systems into the Asia-Pacific region validating its operational maturity.
Together, the companies form a comprehensive capability stack spanning mission-critical defence engineering, sustainment, and fleet support from Babcock; high-assurance digital integration, sensor networks, and resilient mission systems from CiTech; and advanced UAS, ISR technologies, and operational platforms from Draganfly. This unified capability supports end-to-end solutions across national defence modernisation, border and maritime security, disaster and humanitarian response, multi-domain situational awareness, critical infrastructure protection, and training, sustainment, and operational lifecycle services.
As Asia-Pacific governments prioritize security resilience, sovereign capability, and rapid-response technologies, the combined strengths of Babcock, CiTech, and Draganfly position the group to meet regional requirements with integrated, technologically advanced, and operationally proven solutions. The parties will now begin evaluating targeted opportunities and joint-program concepts tailored to defence and security needs across the region. This collaboration represents a significant development in regional defence partnerships, potentially accelerating technology adoption and capability development across multiple security domains.
In a separate development, Critical Infrastructure Technologies has advanced an additional €50,000 to Plutus Invest and Consulting GmbH on account of marketing and communications services provided pursuant to a consulting agreement dated July 16, 2025. This follows the company's previous news release dated July 22, 2025, regarding its relationship with Plutus.
