Monopulse raises €2M for electronic warfare-resistant drones

Monopulse, the Danish-Lithuanian drone manufacturer operating as MNP Technologijos, has raised over €2 million from investors in Lithuania and abroad. The capital will advance development of electronic warfare-resistant unmanned aerial vehicles.

The round follows recent funding activity in the drone sector. Earlier this year, a Bengaluru-based aerospace startup secured pre-seed funding for long-endurance autonomous aircraft, while a major drone delivery company reportedly entered talks for a substantial funding round at a high valuation. Another Indian drone startup raised pre-IPO capital at a significant valuation in the same period.

Monopulse’s focus on electronic warfare resistance sets it apart. Most commercial drone manufacturers prioritize cost, endurance, or payload capacity; hardening against signal jamming or spoofing typically remains a defense-specific concern. The company’s approach suggests either a pivot toward military or dual-use applications or an attempt to differentiate in a crowded market by addressing an emerging threat.

Investor names were not disclosed in the tech.eu report. The funding round’s size—smaller than some recent raises in the sector—may reflect early-stage development or a deliberate step toward a larger round once hardware milestones are achieved. What remains unclear is whether Monopulse intends to compete directly with established defense contractors or carve out a niche in commercial sectors where electronic interference is becoming a concern, such as logistics or critical infrastructure inspection.
