[London: 3 December 2025]: Today, leading independent drone advisors, Drone Major, have launched a first-of-its-kind managed procurement services platform for the global drone industry, which will help power Britain’s procurement process and drive innovation across Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) in the UK’s drone sector.
The launch of the new managed procurement platform will enable buyers and suppliers in the UK drone industry to efficiently fast-track major projects andunlock new opportunities for SMEs to participate in previously inaccessible large-scale projects.
Drone Major, which secured approval from the UK Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) for the UK’s first beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) drone flights over the UK’s Critical National Infrastructure in May 2025, has enhanced its existing supplier platform toconnect global suppliers with high-value procurement opportunities in robotics, drones, and unmanned systems.
Robert Garbett, Founder and Chief Executive of Drone Major, commented on the new launch: “The UK has the talent and technologies, many of which reside within our own SME base, but it has lacked the mechanism to bring them to the front line effectively. The launch of our new platform marks a major step forward in empowering British SMEs and startups, giving them a powerful tool to navigate and simplify complex procurement processes in the drone industry.”
“It will help place the UK at the forefront of the global drone industry, while also strengthening the UK’s supply chain independence… and reducing reliance on China.”
The global drone and robotics market is projected to grow from a current size of £55 billion in 2024 to £121 billion in 2030, presenting British SMEs with a major opportunity.[1]
Drone Major’s new platform is centred around a business-to-business marketplace to connect buyers and suppliers globally with vetted, trusted partners in the drone and robotics ecosystem.
It enables the delivery of end-to-end programmes, with Drone Major coordinating the complete supply chain process, ensuring on-time and on-budget project completion. Drone Major will evaluate supplier bids, select the most capable vendors, and then manage the entire supply-chain execution, in addition to handling compliance, regulatory approval (including harnessing Drone Major’s experience with BVLOS authorisation where needed), project management, logistics, quality control, and final delivery.
Robert Garbett continued: “The new platform showcases the full breadth of our technical capability, enabling us to deliver virtually any solution in the Unmanned Systems domain.
“By opening up access to major opportunities, we’re putting the cards in the hands of the innovators. This platform will help drive a procurement revolution in the UK – cutting costs, saving time, and transforming how enterprise engages with the SME supply chain.”

The eTricks Special Forces is an all terrain eBike with a top speed of 55km/hr and a range up to 81km.
It weighs in at 40kg and is equpped with 160mm of front suspension travel and chain drive, a hydraulic shock absorber with separate reservoir and its 20′ notched tire.
Coming out of Austria is the Quickshield, a handheld buckler-style shield for knife and stabbing weapon attacks.
Measuring 19 cm x 19 cm, it is from polycarbonate with fiberglass reinforcement it fits within an outer layer of Cordura to protect it from day-to-day wear and tear.
Spuhr AB exhibited the new SM101QD-3 and -4 mounts for the Aimpoint M4 Comp and Magnifier (3x or 4x).
This ballistically adjustable mount offers shots out to 800m with 5.56 and 1000m with 7.62. As you can see, the magnifier can easily be detached when not needed.
Mohoc is well known for their POV helmet-mounted mission cameras. At Milipol they showed their new OPTAC drone cameras.
Optac is a compact, NDAA-compliant system engineered for uncrewed platforms across air, land, robotic domains. Unlike conventional payloads, Optac uniquely delivers visible, low-light, and IR capability from a single unit.
It is built for attritable UAVs – lightweight, low-cost drones delivering tactical FPV ISR with Digital Image Stabilization (DIS) for clearer, steadier video.
There are three Optac Options:
Optac A1.1
Captures 400-750nm spectrum
Outputs color video
Optac A1.2
Captures 400-950nm spectrum
Outputs black-and-white video
Optac A1.3
Captures 400-750nm + 940nm spectrum
Outputs color video from 400-750nm
Outputs black-and-white video at 940nm
Neros is a company to keep your eyes on in the American made FPV drone game and they’ve just introduced the First Fiber Optic capable FPV to make the USA Defense Innovation Unit Blue List.
Although EW systems have been effective in countering FPV drones in the Russo-Ukraine conflict, the belligerents have taken the radio control out of the equation by equipping their systems with fiber optic reels which allow control via this extremely lightweight cable system. Now, Neros has introduced a system which meets the DIU Blue UAS framework. The spool is contained in the large canister mounted below the drone.
In September we have you a sneak peek of the LODEout System from ZuluOrigin.
They’ve now formally launched the system which will redefine the way operators carry, access, and configure their equipment.
Meet LODEOut
A transformative carriage system powered by rare-earth magnets.
* Exponentially faster
* Fully interoperable
* Compatible with existing industry platforms
* Designed by operators with current real-world experience
For the first time since MOLLE, the tactical equipment landscape is advancing, and LODEOut is leading that paradigm change.
Whether you want to adapt your existing kit with their unique attachment system or adopt new pouches, either way, ZuluOrigin has you covered, with new kit coming regularly.
This video does a great job of showing how the system is manufactured and how it works.
