Tel Aviv: The growing demand in Europe for advanced loitering weapon systems brought Israeli company Uvision, to establish of a new European subsidiary in Munich, Germany.
According to the company, this is a significant step in strengthening its long-term commitment to customers across Europe in response to growing demand.
The new entity will serve as an anchor for Uvision’s activities in Europe. It builds on the company’s growing activity in the region and the momentum generated through its strategic partnership with Rheinmetall, which has helped expand the company’s footprint in Europe and reinforced the value of a stronger local presence.
Uvision Europe will provide comprehensive capabilities including customer support, local sourcing and manufacturing, engineering, training, and Integrated Logistics Support (ILS). The local presence will enable faster response times, improved customer proximity, and enhanced supply chain resilience as a 100% European product portfolio.
The subsidiary will also support localised development projects tailored to specific European operational requirements, including the alignment of future developments with evolving needs, as part of its roadmap to establish local assembly and production capabilities.
All systems and solutions delivered through the European subsidiary will be fully aligned with European regulations, standards, and certification requirements, ensuring seamless integration into local defense frameworks.
Roman Didenco, the appointed CEO of Uvision Europe GmbH said that as European armed forces accelerate procurement and modernisation efforts, the need for trusted, responsive, and locally anchored defence partners has become increasingly important.
”Uvision Europe is established to address that need, bringing the company closer to its customers and creating the foundations for a progressively independent European operation,” Roman Didenco said.
Uvision’s family of loitering munition systems is already fielded by NATO and allied customers, and integrated into procurement frameworks, with assigned NATO Stock Numbers (NSNs) underscoring the maturity, credibility, and operational advantage of its systems.
