Resilience Media

Yesterday we delivered issue 50 of the Resilience Media weekly digest to your inbox. Inside, we shared several guest pieces we were proud to run, from Nicola Sinclair, Srdjan Kovacevic, and Toby Wilmington; John Biggs deep dives into two reports (one by the UK House of Commons and the other the Dealroom.co and Danske Bank Nordics Dual-Use Report); plus lots of news from Rheinmetall, PowerUp, and Terma Group. We also launched a fundraiser with HELP99 to raise money to help rebuild a Ukrainian brigade's R&D lab. Link to the post is in the comments. Happy weekend reading, and don't forget to share and subscribe 👇

Brilliant piece by Toby Wilmington from edge cybersecurity startup Periphery. Also for anyone who doesn’t know Resilience Media, they are the definitive voice on deeptech and defense in Europe. https://lnkd.in/dJ-u-HGC

New from Tom Pashby: Can the UK counter Russian laser threats? A run-in between the Yantar spy ship and UK naval forces points to escalating tensions, but it also raises questions about how Russia is using lasers, and how the UK is preparing for that.

Big thanks for Resilience Media for giving me a platform to share some thoughts about the much needed transformation of our defence forces.

This feels like the right way to observe Thanksgiving. You can say thanks to the 3rd Assault Brigade, one of the most effective units from the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Great idea by the team at Resilience Media!

NEWS: Terma Group buys UK-based OSL Technology to sharpen European counter-drone coverage Terma has acquired UK counter-drone firm OSL Technology, connecting a civil airspace specialist into a long-standing Nordic defence supplier in a direct play for the Counter-UAS market. The deal brings OSL, which has supplied counter-drone and security systems to Heathrow and other national-infrastructure sites in the UK, into Terma’s broader defense and security portfolio. OSL’s work has focused on spotting, tracking, and managing drones in dense civil airspace and around critical sites where false alarms and downtime carry a high cost. The move shows what a small EU country can do when state policy, industry, and a real war on its doorstep line up. Copenhagen has become one of Kyiv’s most reliable backers, sending aid, weapons, and know how, while its defence tech sector builds tools that the EU will need. This move by Terma, the country’s main prime contractor, brings counter drone expertise straight into a Danish led ecosystem, and turns a UK success story into a wider European asset.

NEWS: NATO and Ukraine launch joint initiative to fast-track battlefield innovation ‘UNITE - Brave Nato’ aims to move defence technologies from prototype to battlefield deployment faster, drawing directly on Ukraine’s frontline priorities and NATO's interoperability standards.

One of the things that differentiates the Ukrainian military from a NATO military is its embedded frontline defence technology innovation. The 3rd Assault Corps is a leader in this. Great to see our friends at Resilience Media supporting their fundraising efforts. This Tuesday is "Giving Tuesday" in the US. What could bring more joy than "giving" it to Putin? If you are looking for a way to have a tangible impact on defeating Russia in Ukraine, this should be toward the top of your list.

A special edition of the Resilience Media newsletter is in your inbox. Today we share with you a fundraising campaign we have launched with HELP99 to rebuild R&D lab of The Interceptor Battery of The Air Defence Division of the 3rd Assault Brigade. It was struck and destroyed by a Russian missile earlier this year. Please consider giving back to those who are protecting Ukrainian skies and ours with their knowledge and time. The link to the piece is in the comments, which we ask you share far and wide.

"For the first time, they don’t have to play rock, paper, scissors to decide who goes out of the shelter to the forest to fill the diesel generator." This human detail from the front lines, shared with Resilience Media, defines the urgency of our dual-use mission. PowerUP secured our €10M Series A to scale a technology that delivers national security-grade reliability where it matters most. Our hydrogen-powered generators are not just clean; they are nearly silent, have a smaller heat signature, and can be used indoors, protecting personnel while powering essential radios, drones, and medical equipment. This is innovation forged and validated by the demands of a conflict zone. As our new investor, Dave Harden from ScaleWolf said in the article, "We value technologies that strengthen security and resilience where it matters most... We are proud to back a team that turns proven performance into meaningful dual-use capability.” A huge thank you to Fiona Alston for capturing the true impact of this technology.
