BATCH 3 PORTFOLIO
JUNE 2026
9 companies
C-UAS · STRIKE · MARITIME · UGV · ISR
To win, we need serial production, scalable business models, and companies ready for international joint ventures. Defence Builder Accelerator takes early-stage defence tech companies and over 4 months builds them into that — shaping product, business logic, and validation from the ground up. Batch 3 presents nine of those companies: across C-UAS and drone detection, strike munitions, maritime defence, autonomous ground systems, and target acquisition.
