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.
