The company has established strategic collaborations with Glomex in Poland, Eqqus in Estonia, and Precision Technic Defence Group in Denmark, significantly expanding its presence in Northern Europe’s defence and security markets.

These partnerships will facilitate the distribution of Sentinel Photonics’ military-grade LASERD® detection systems and FROST protection filters, addressing urgent and growing concerns about laser threats in modern battlespace environments across Northern Europe.
 
"Having access to the defence and security markets is key to our growth strategy," says Jackson White, Head of Commercial at Sentinel Photonics. "Northern Europe represents a sophisticated market with advanced defence requirements, and the partnerships with Glomex, Eqqus and Precision Technic Defence Group provide crucial channels to serve this strategic sector."
 
The collaborations enable all partners to support and resell Sentinel Photonics’ complete range of defence and security-certified products. This announcement builds upon Sentinel Photonics’ existing European presence, complementing recent partnerships with StarC4SIS in Romania and TMB Netherlands.

Royal Navy leads AUKUS submarine-hunting trials using autonomous systems
09 Mar 2026- Exercise SPRING SABRE Building on the success of trials and tests in 2025, Exercise Spring Sabre landed in Plymouth in early March, to develop and manage the diversity of uncrewed maritime and airborne available to a Hybrid Navy construct. Utilising the unique and diverse environments on offer across Plymouth Sound, Ex Spring Sabre has been able to improve collaboration between operators as well as reduce the duplication of effort and make planned operations more efficient. Falling under the AUKUS Pillar II - Maritime Big Play programme, in which sees UK, Australia, and the United States test and integrate autonomous systems, the Exercise enabled several Industrial partners to share command-and-control software and grow a baseline for using autonomous kit in a Littoral setting.
