LPP Holding, a technology company operating in the defence industry, has won first place with unique technology in the NATO Innovation Challenge organised by NATO ACT (Allied Command Transformation in Norfolk, USA).
In this regularly held competition for the Alliance’s leading innovators, LPP Holding prevailed against more than sixty companies from NATO member states. “The aim of this multi-stage competition was to select the best existing technology for strengthening the Alliance’s defence capabilities,“ Martina Tauberová of LPP Holding emphasised.
The solutions that LPP has long been offering, thanks to its in-house development across all platforms, are capable of withstanding jamming and, unlike conventional systems, can be deployed in greater numbers. The Czech company possesses a completely new technology that is unique in the world, which no other company in any NATO member state offers. LPP secured the top spot for its MTS platform, specifically highlighting its autonomous long-range unmanned capabilities designed for “Persistent Airfield Denial“ and sustained deep strikes.
A specially developed and trained artificial intelligence system fully replaces human personnel. Furthermore, the company offers not only aerial drones but also ground-based drones, its own ammunition and software solutions. This equipment has been proving its worth to the Ukrainian army for several months now.
LPP Holding a.s. is a group of Czech companies in the fields of development, production and integration within both the military and civilian sectors. The subsidiaries are primarily active in sectors such as aviation, ground systems, artificial intelligence and engineering. LPP achieved a PAT of 18,5 million EUR last year. This result is almost five times the profit from 2024, when it stood at 4 million EUR. Revenue from the sale of products and services rose by 74 percent year-on-year to 42 million EUR, whilst revenue from the sale of goods increased by 119 percent to 39 million EUR, according to the annual report.
