New Skyhammer interceptor missiles and launchers, produced by UK start-up Cambridge Aerospace, have been successfully tested in Jordan, less than two weeks after we signed a multi-million-pound contract.

Cambridge Aerospace to deliver Skyhammer air defence systems to UK Ministry of Defence

10 April 2026

10 April 2026, Cambridge, UK – The UK Ministry of Defence has today (10 April 2026) announced that it is purchasing a significant number of Skyhammer air defence systems from UK-headquartered scale-up Cambridge Aerospace, with deliveries starting from May. The company has committed to delivering these units to the MOD over the next six months.
Its first product, Skyhammer, has a range of over 30 km and a top speed of 700 km/h, enabling it to intercept a wide range of aerial threats, including drones and low-speed missiles.

Development of Skyhammer began in January 2025, with initial flight testing achieved within six weeks. Since then, the system has undergone continuous, iterative testing on a weekly basis, ensuring effectiveness across varied operational scenarios and compatibility with a broad range of sensor systems. This enables rapid deployment as part of a layered air defence architecture.

Recent testing has demonstrated consistent successful interceptions of drone targets under varied conditions, with autonomous platforms identifying, tracking and neutralising threats.

Three innovative British small businesses, Greenjets, Cambridge Aerospace and Frankenburg Technologies have been awarded contracts worth over £3 million to develop and pilot low-cost air defence capabilities that can counter large scale drone and missile threats. Solutions range from early concepts and prototypes to more battlefield-ready options.
The Low‑Cost Air Defence Effectors (LCADE) programme will support skilled jobs and economic growth across the UK defence sector, including in Bristol, Milton Keynes, Stevenage and Cambridge.
