Dual-use drone startup Tekever has raised €70 million ($74 million) to develop its product and expand into new markets, specifically the U.S.
The funding round was led by Scottish investment company Baillie Gifford & Co. and the NATO Innovation Fund.
Tekever's surveillance drones have been used for tracking migrant smugglers in the English Channel and have been deployed in Ukraine.
The company's approach of controlling all aspects of its operations, from design to software, allows for quick adaptation to customer needs and changing warfare scenarios.
