FLANQ Launches Autonomous Defense Products to Address Europe’s Maritime Security Challenges

In response to Europe’s growing security challenges in the maritime domain, FLANQ has emerged as a new provider of autonomous defense products. The company offers a comprehensive suite of commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) uncrewed surface vessels, underwater drones, and sensor payloads, all powered by FLANQ’s proprietary artificial intelligence software and hardware stack.

Headquartered in northern Germany, FLANQ specializes in integrating AI capabilities with proven COTS maritime hardware. These ready-to-deploy, surface and underwater platforms provide naval forces with enhanced situational awareness and autonomous mission capabilities to counter evolving maritime threats.

Sören Themann, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of FLANQ, emphasized the critical need for such advanced technology in today’s security landscape. He stated, “National sovereignty across the region is being tested on an unprecedented level by shadow fleets conducting hybrid warfare. Our AI-powered uncrewed systems provide navies with the rapid response capabilities needed to safeguard critical marine infrastructure above and below the surface, expansive coastlines, and essential trade routes. FLANQ’s solutions are more than drawing board concepts. They are commercially available and ready for immediate deployment.”

FLANQ’s focus on autonomous defense products comes at a crucial time when maritime security threats are becoming increasingly complex and sophisticated. By leveraging cutting-edge AI technology and proven maritime hardware, FLANQ aims to equip naval forces with the tools necessary to protect vital maritime assets and uphold national security.

With FLANQ’s innovative solutions now on the market, European navies have access to a new level of defense capabilities that can adapt to evolving threats and enhance operational efficiency in the maritime domain.
