Intelic wins €30M Dutch defence contract for AI air-defence software
Dutch AI company Intelic's software is helping Ukraine's air defence and has won a €30 million contract from the Dutch Ministry of Defence, TechNews reports. In late September 2026 Intelic tested its Nexus platform at a Dutch air base, fusing radars, sensors and cameras from different vendors to identify simulated incoming targets, with a human operator giving the final order to launch an AI-guided interceptor drone. Intelic says Nexus also lets Ukrainian forces operate drones from multiple suppliers in one system and supports Ukraine's Delta battlefield management system.
The report says the window to judge whether an incoming drone or missile is a real attack, a decoy or harmless can be only seconds, which Intelic argues makes AI-assisted, and potentially fully automated, interception decisions necessary.
俄烏戰場是無人機戰爭的大實驗場，不只是運用於攻擊，也用於防守，面對俄國飛彈、無人機狂轟濫炸，烏克蘭發展攔截無人機應對。想要成功攔截威脅，其實最重要的重點並非在於攔截無人機本身，而是雷達索敵以及判斷目標，並把目標資訊傳送給攔截系統，以指揮攔截的能力。而荷蘭 AI 公司 Intelic 的軟體正在協助烏克蘭防空，也獲得了荷蘭國防部 3,000 萬歐元的合約。
Intelic 總部位於荷蘭阿姆斯特丹，如今在烏克蘭首都基輔也有辦公室，正協助烏軍辨識俄軍來襲的飛彈與無人機。
