The Cortex Typhon C-UAS is based on field-proven software and hardware from Teledyne Flir and Kongsberg, including surveillance system and Kongsberg Remote Weapon Station and Cortex Integrated Combat Solution.

“This contract will provide a significant capability boost for the Armed Forces of Ukraine and will support their ability to protect their people and defend their country against aerial threats,” according to Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace president Eirik Lie.

The International Fund for Ukraine was established by the UK, Norway, and international partners to identify and procure critical capabilities and deliver them quickly to Ukraine.
