Ireland's own
drone factory.

A sovereign, indigenous manufacturing capability — built on Irish soil to protect our seas, serve our people, and capture the value at home. Made in Ireland, made for Europe.

"At the heart of this strategy is a new whole-of-government approach to protect … our maritime domain … in cooperation with … the private sector."

The Government says the private sector has "a responsibility to play its part, complementing that of the Government." We are that partner — the indigenous capability that lets the State deliver, not just plan.

Our cables are being stalked.

• Nov 2024 — the Russian vessel Yantar flew three drones over Irish-controlled waters, near subsea cables and a gas interconnector.
• Jan 2025 — shadow-fleet tanker Arne dragged its anchor off Co. Mayo, beside the AEC-1 Ireland–US cable; later intercepted missing that anchor.
• Since Oct 2023 — 11+ cables cut or damaged in the Baltic (Eagle S, Yi Peng 3, NewNew Polar Bear).

The world's data runs past our coast.

A sea the size of a country — almost no eyes on it.

Ireland's "seablindness" is real demand with no domestic supply. The drones to fix it are bought abroad.

Persistent drones, not scarce ships.

• NATO launched Operation Baltic Sentry (Jan 2025) with ~20 naval drones guarding undersea infrastructure.
• Uncrewed systems give far lower cost-per-patrol-hour than frigates over a vast EEZ.
• The mission — detecting slow, loitering, anchor-dragging vessels — is already demonstrated.

The capability exists. The question is who builds it — and where.

Own the line. Capture the margin. Build it in Ireland.

Indigenous, sovereign capability — headquartered and controlled here. We build the hard part (the motor) at home, so every unit sold funds the next line, not a foreign supplier. Growth and innovation; safe and secure.

One line. Five zones. 160 m².

• Sequential flow: raw stock → wound stators → balanced rotors → final assembly → full QC.
• 3–5 operators on the floor, scaling to 15 staff.
• ≥98% qualification rate · 4-minute cycle time.

A vetted tier-1 turnkey OEM partner. under NDA

• Scored 89.9 / 100 against six manufacturers on capability, longevity and compliance.
• ≥98% qualification rate · 120-day lead time · CE-certified, BV-audited.
• Hosts on-site client due-diligence; EU-compliance-ready, NDAA-clean sourcing path.

Supplier identity is held under NDA and disclosed only to signed parties.

We make the costliest part for half the price.

Every shipment funds the factory. Margin is captured here, in Ireland.

* Modelled from in-house factory research; to be validated against final Irish site, energy & labour quotes.

One factory, the whole island's problems.

• Maritime & energy: subsea-cable watch · offshore-wind inspection · fisheries · coast-guard SAR.
• Agri & environment: precision farming · forestry · peatland & carbon · flood mapping.
• Infrastructure: grid & pipeline · data-centre · rail · bridges · ports.
• Public safety: mountain rescue · island medical delivery · counter-drone security.

The model already works in the EU.

EU Motors (Kraków, Poland) runs an NDAA-aligned line at 100,000 motors / month, with a second plant in Florida. Sovereign drone manufacturing is deployable on European soil — Ireland is next.

A High Potential Start-Up, by definition.

• Innovative, internationally-traded IP — 10+ jobs and €1M sales within three years, headquartered and controlled in Ireland.
• Fits Enterprise Ireland HPSU, IDA, LEO and New Frontiers — applied for transparently, on real merit.
• "Competitive advantage founded on sustainability, innovation and productivity."

Let's build it. Now.

Engineering-first, Ireland-resident operations. The threat is named, the demand is funded, the line is costed. We are ready to deliver the sovereign capability the State has called for.
