About this report
Overwatch Group is a young British defence technology venture that has rapidly emerged as a source of cutting-edge unmanned systems and advanced payloads. Founded in 2023, this agile company designs and builds drones and munitions entirely in-house, aiming to give front-line operators a decisive technological edge.
In an era when Europe is racing to strengthen its own defence capabilities, Overwatch offers something especially intriguing: a home-grown, soldier-designed drone system proven on the modern battlefield. The company’s compact loitering munitions – essentially smart weaponized drones – have already been deployed by Ukrainian Special Forces with lethal precision.
