Romanian aerospace company BraveX Aero and French defense firm ARESIA-Ozoir have signed a strategic partnership focused on next-generation drone systems for military training and defense testing. The agreement was announced during BSDA 2026 in Bucharest and will initially target the Romanian market, with broader NATO-oriented ambitions. The partnership establishes a framework for collaboration in advanced drone-based training and aerial target systems, combining BraveX Aero’s expertise in fixed-wing and jet-powered unmanned aerial vehicles with ARESIA-Ozoir’s experience in military training and operational support solutions.

Romanian drone maker BraveX Aero has delivered its first jet-powered Vimana Jet drones to customers, completing validation of aircraft capable of reaching 500 km/h and flying for 40 minutes at cruising speed. The company is seeking seed funding to expand production and develop a vertical take-off and landing model by end of 2026, positioning itself as a supplier for European security customers.
