Shaping the Future of Aerospace

What people say

Callen-Lenz have used UK DSE’s Export Support Team to showcase their KOIOS on numerous defence events, both in the domestic and international spheres. It always attracts a lot of interest in the export market. In addition, UK Defence Attachés with global reach have received an introduction to the capability with open arms. The unique design and obvious utility of the system makes it a real eye catcher at these events drawing in the crowds including Government Ministers and International Military Delegations.

I’m delighted that we have been successfully awarded a RAeS Bronze Medal for our joint work on Crewed Uncrewed Teaming. Many thanks for your support with this work and the associated submission. Congratulations to the Callen-Lenz colleagues who worked collaboratively with the Leonardo engineers to deliver the successful CUC-T demonstration for AWE-19.

Our Uncrewed Aerial Vehicles are 100% assembled at our Wiltshire facility with up to 70% of components sourced within the UK from British suppliers. We operate on a carefully selected supply chain that is built on strategic relationships, transparency, sustainability, and quality to achieve ongoing world class supply chain excellence and our ability to scale at operational pace is world class.
