Positioning

Helsing is a German defense-AI and systems company producing the HX-2 strike drone, with the CA-1 Europa aircraft targeting a 2027 first flight. It raised a $1.8B Series E in July 2026 at an $18B valuation (about $4.4B raised cumulatively, Europe's largest defense startup), holds a Bundestag HX-2 contract, and acquired Keybotic and a Lura underwater platform; a German MoD briefing reporting 5-of-14 target hits in Donbas is contested by the company, which cites Russian electronic warfare. Revenue is undisclosed and HX-2 field performance is disputed.
