Strategic Partnerships for Sovereign Defence Capability
Enabling collaborative capability development across autonomous defence ecosystems
Strategic Collaboration Enabling Defence Capability
Praesidium Defence engages with a limited number of partners to develop, integrate, and sustain autonomous defence systems aligned with the operational, regulatory, and sovereign requirements of allied nations.
Our partnership approach is deliberate and selective. We prioritise long-term alignment, technical credibility, and shared responsibility for delivering resilient capability within regulated defence environments.
Partnership Philosophy
Modern defence capability is increasingly delivered through structured collaboration across platforms, subsystems, supply chains, and national frameworks rather than through isolated development efforts.
Praesidium partners selectively where collaboration strengthens operational outcomes, accelerates capability delivery, or enhances long-term sustainment. We do not pursue transactional relationships or volume-driven integration models. Partnerships are established to support programme integrity, accountability, and sovereign control across the system lifecycle.
Partner Categories
Industrial & Manufacturing Partners
Praesidium works with industrial partners that contribute to the production, integration, and sustainment of autonomous platforms and critical subsystems, including power and energy systems, sensors, communications, and mechanical assemblies.
These relationships are focused on quality, traceability, and resilience rather than cost optimisation alone. The objective is predictable build quality, repeatable integration, and long-term sustainment of mission-critical hardware, reducing programme risk and supporting lifecycle reliability.
Technology & Integration Partners
Praesidium collaborates with technology partners whose capabilities complement our autonomy stack, platform architecture, or mission systems. This includes collaboration on mission-critical subsystems such as energy storage and power systems, where reliability, traceability, and governance are essential.
Integration partnerships are evaluated on technical maturity, interoperability, and suitability for use within regulated and contested operational environments. Through these collaborations, Praesidium ensures that advanced technologies are integrated as dependable subsystems within a sovereign autonomy architecture, rather than as opaque or standalone components.
Government & Programme Partners
Praesidium engages with government entities, defence organisations, and programme offices to support sovereign capability development, structured evaluation activities, and programme delivery.
These engagements are aligned with national priorities, export control frameworks, and allied defence structures, including NATO-aligned programmes where applicable. Government and programme partnerships support informed decision-making, assurance activities, and alignment with national and alliance requirements throughout the capability lifecycle.
Praesidium Defence Partnership Ecosystem

Praesidium’s partnership ecosystem brings together industrial, technology, government, and strategic partners to support the delivery of resilient, sovereign autonomous defence capability. Collaboration across these domains enables integration, sustainment, and governance of complex systems within national and allied defence frameworks.
Strategic & Long-Term Partners
Praesidium selectively engages with strategic partners aligned with the long-term development and sustainment of sovereign defence capability. These relationships are built on shared intent, technical depth, and commitment to responsible delivery within regulated defence programmes.
Strategic partnerships are established to support enduring capability development rather than short-term commercial outcomes.
Partnership Enquiry
Praesidium engages selectively with partners aligned to sovereign defence capability development. Partnership enquiries are reviewed on a case-by-case basis and prioritised based on strategic alignment, technical relevance, regulatory suitability, and programme intent.
