As European defense priorities evolve, Danish-Lithuanian UAV manufacturer **MNP Technologijos (Monopulse)** has secured **€1.12 million** from Lithuania’s national development bank **ILTE** to expand production of its NATO-class drones.

The funding—issued under ILTE’s *Billion for Business* program—will increase Monopulse’s manufacturing capacity to meet growing domestic and export demand. CEO **Justas Poderys** said the company’s vertically integrated model and strict supplier audits “ensure full traceability and security across every component.”

Founded in 2021, Monopulse designs and builds **reconnaissance and surveillance UAVs** in the **NATO Class I (Mini)**category. The company sources critical components only from friendly nations and produces core elements—including optics and flight control systems—in-house. Its **Falcon** models feature modular design, encrypted data storage, and operational resilience against **GPS jamming**, with a range of up to 15 km.

ILTE’s Head of Client Financing **Giedrė Gečiauskienė** said the project aligns with Lithuania’s strategy to “strengthen European security and technological independence.”

The investment comes amid a surge in **European DefenseTech funding**, following major rounds for Germany’s **Quantum Systems (€160M)**, Poland’s **Orbotix (€6.5M)**, and Denmark’s **Quadsat (€5M)**. The Baltic region, increasingly central to NATO’s eastern defense architecture, is emerging as a hub for sovereign UAV innovation and dual-use industrial growth.
