ARQUIMEA closes 2025 as a leader in the international loitering drones market

• The company strengthens its global positioning with the sale of its solutions to six international customers across Europe and the Asia-Pacific region.
•  This expansion is also supported by increased production capacity, with the launch of new drone manufacturing facilities scheduled for the first months of 2026.

Madrid, 2 February 2026. ARQUIMEA, a Spanish technology company specialising in multidomain loitering drones for defence and security, consolidates its leadership through the commercialisation and production of its intelligent autonomous drones for six different customers across Europe and the Asia-Pacific region in 2025.

This milestone confirms the technological maturity, operational reliability and international competitiveness of the solutions developed by ARQUIMEA, which meet the most demanding requirements of today’s operational environments. The company’s loitering drones stand out for their reliability, autonomy and operational versatility, enabling them to adapt to a wide range of scenarios and missions, in line with evolving defence doctrines and the needs of institutional customers. ARQUIMEA continues to expand the Q-SLAM family and to develop enhancements to its systems in order to keep them at the technological forefront.

“The trust placed in us by six different customers in Europe and Asia is a clear validation of our technological vision and the robustness of our systems,” said Manuel Martín Flórez, Managing Director of ARQUIMEA’s Defence Division. “Our objective is to strengthen the operational capabilities of the Armed Forces, helping them to carry out their missions safely and efficiently. We aim to continue expanding into new territories.”

Commercial expansion in Europe and the Asia-Pacific region forms part of ARQUIMEA’s international growth strategy, aimed at consolidating long-term partnerships and positioning the company as a global benchmark in unmanned systems and intelligent drones. This expansion is also underpinned by increased production capacity, with the commissioning in the early months of the year of new facilities for the manufacture of intelligent drones for land, naval and air forces, supported by a planned investment of €15 million.

With this progress, ARQUIMEA continues to strengthen its international presence and reaffirms its role as a key player in the development of high value-added defence technologies, contributing to the strategic autonomy and security of its partners and customers.
