Critical Infrastructure Technologies Forms Strategic Defense Collaboration with Babcock International and Draganfly

Critical Infrastructure Technologies Ltd. has signed a Mutual Non-Disclosure Agreement with Babcock International Group PLC and Draganfly Inc. to advance a strategic, multi-company collaboration aimed at strengthening defense and security capabilities across the Asia-Pacific region. This partnership brings together complementary strengths across defense engineering, advanced technology integration, unmanned systems, and mission-critical operational delivery, enabling sophisticated, scalable solutions for governments, military forces, and national-security stakeholders throughout the region.

The collaboration leverages the distinct capabilities of three proven organizations. Babcock International Group serves as one of the United Kingdom's leading defense primes, delivering mission-critical engineering, naval support, fleet management, training, base operations, and major defense programs. Its longstanding support to the UK Ministry of Defence and allied nations provides a trusted pathway into rapidly developing Asia-Pacific defense markets. Critical Infrastructure Technologies Ltd. provides advanced engineering capabilities, mission-system integration, and technology-driven solutions for defense, national security, critical infrastructure, and energy. The company specializes in digital architectures, sensor ecosystems, data platforms, decision-support systems, and resilient mission environments, forming the technological backbone of the partnership.

Draganfly Inc. contributes as an award-winning developer of unmanned aerial systems and sensor-driven data solutions. Its recent military sale of Commander 3XL unmanned systems into the Asia-Pacific region validates the operational maturity of its platforms and reinforces its role in frontline mission support. Draganfly's NDAA-compliant and NATO-supportive systems support military, public-safety, and disaster-response operations. Together, the three companies form a comprehensive capability stack spanning mission-critical defense engineering, sustainment, and fleet support through Babcock; high-assurance digital integration, sensor networks, and resilient mission systems through CiTech; and advanced UAS, ISR technologies, and operational platforms through Draganfly.

This unified capability supports end-to-end solutions across national defense modernization, border and maritime security, disaster and humanitarian response, multi-domain situational awareness, critical infrastructure protection, and training, sustainment, and operational lifecycle services. As Asia-Pacific governments prioritize security resilience, sovereign capability, and rapid-response technologies, the combined strengths of Babcock, CiTech, and Draganfly position the group to meet regional requirements with integrated, technologically advanced, and operationally proven solutions. The parties will now begin evaluating targeted opportunities and joint-program concepts tailored to defense and security needs across the region.

In a separate development, Critical Infrastructure Technologies has advanced an additional €50,000 to Plutus Invest and Consulting GmbH on account of marketing and communications services provided by Plutus pursuant to the consulting agreement dated July 16, 2025. This follows the company's previous news release dated July 22, 2025. The strategic collaboration represents a significant step in addressing growing security demands in the Asia-Pacific, where governments are increasingly investing in modern defense capabilities and integrated security solutions.
