The Netherlands' Ministry of Defence is investing tens of millions of euros in Dutch startup Intelic under a three-year deal centered on its NEXUS platform. NEXUS allows drones from different manufacturers to operate under a single command system, addressing the interoperability bottleneck created by Europe's rapid proliferation of 700+ drone makers. The investment is framed as a lesson from Ukraine, where software coordination proved as critical as hardware. Intelic claims NEXUS has already supported Ukrainian battlefield operations. The deal formalizes an earlier agreement with the Royal Netherlands Army and gives Intelic a NATO reference customer as it expands across its nine-country BASE marketplace.
