Low-cost drone and missile interceptors for NATO air defence
Cambridge Aerospace builds low-cost interceptors for NATO air defence, addressing the cost asymmetry of shooting down cheap drones with expensive missiles. Its Skyhammer drone interceptor is in production with a target of 2,500 units per month by March 2027; the Starhammer missile interceptor is expected to reach market in 2027, alongside the Looking Glass radar system. Founded in late 2024 by aerospace engineer and University of Cambridge professor Steven Barrett. Holds multiple UK Ministry of Defence contracts for Skyhammer supply to the UK armed forces and is in negotiation with the US government. The August 2026 Series C was led by DFJ Growth at a $3.4B post-money, backed by several of the same investors behind Anduril.
