Drone Capability Coalition (UK/Latvia-led)
UK & Latvia-led coalition of 18 nations, with Ukraine MOD
About this opportunity
The UK/Latvia-led Drone Coalition (18 nations, €2B+ pooled) runs recurring international tenders to buy FPV and reconnaissance drones for Ukraine. Ukrainian manufacturers were admitted to the competition and roughly 20 were selected — a direct, high-volume procurement channel run through the UK MOD sourcing portal.
The Drone Capability Coalition, led by the UK and Latvia within the Ukraine Defence Contact Group, pools funding from 18 nations to buy large volumes of FPV and reconnaissance drones for Ukraine, awarded through recurring international tenders. Ukrainian manufacturers were opened to the competition and a first cohort of roughly twenty was selected. A firm enters by registering on the UK MOD's Defence Sourcing Portal and bidding the coalition lot when a round opens — a direct, high-volume channel rather than a grant.
Eligibility
Recurring international tenders for FPV and reconnaissance drones supplied to Ukraine. Ukrainian manufacturers are now eligible directly — register on the UK MOD Defence Sourcing Portal and bid the Drone Capability Coalition lot; open to industry from any Ukraine Defence Contact Group nation.
