Romanian deep-tech defense company Qognifly unveils integrated drone system with NATO interoperability Qognifly, a Romanian deep-tech defense company specializing in the design, production, and integration of autonomous aerial systems, presented a fully integrated and operational drone ecosystem during the LCI-X 1-26 Eastern Phoenix 2026 (EAPH 26) exercise, organized by Allied Command Transformation (ACT) and the Ministry of National Defence, at the Capu Midia range in Constanța County. The exercise, which took place last week, focused on innovation and experimentation in countering threats posed by unmanned aerial systems.
