LINCOLN, England--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Teledyne Energetics UK, part of Teledyne Technologies Incorporated (NYSE:TDY), today announced a $15.4 million contract with a Europe-based defence technology manufacturer to supply specialist energetics products for advanced unmanned systems. The award positions Teledyne as a critical industrial partner in the acceleration of European drone dominance, supporting the development and manufacture of next-generation platforms at scale.

The agreement supports a Europe-based defence technology manufacturer as Europe moves quickly to expand sovereign capability in unmanned systems.

“This award reflects the speed at which Europe’s unmanned systems market is evolving and the strategic importance of building trusted industrial capacity close to the programmes it supports,” said John Toner, Senior Vice President at Teledyne Aerospace & Defence Electronics UK. “For Teledyne, it reinforces our role in helping customers move critical drone capabilities from development toward dependable production, with the performance, responsiveness and long-term support required for mission success.”

Deliveries under the programme will begin immediately and support current development activity. Teledyne expects the relationship to expand as future production requirements increase.
