ZeroPhase Raises €5.8M To Build Next-Gen Communication For Unmanned Defense Systems

The funding will accelerate the development and deployment of ZeroPhase’s adaptive communication layer, delivering high-performance, resilient connectivity while preserving sovereign control of critical links across air, land, and sea.

“Communication is the nervous system of defense, communication decides outcomes,” said Dr. Florian Petit, CEO of ZeroPhase. “Our goal is to ensure it never fails. And with the support of Blueyard, we’re building adaptive data links that deliver uncompromising performance and reliability - adaptable across domains and mission types, forming the foundation of trusted connectivity for the unmanned systems of tomorrow.”

Unmanned defense systems depend on robust, low-latency communications to transmit video, telemetry, and command data under demanding conditions. In Ukraine alone, the number of these systems is expected to exceed 4.5 million units by 2025, making secure and stable data links more critical than ever.

ZeroPhase’s adaptive data links respond dynamically to jamming, interference, and signal degradation, ensuring mission continuity and trusted, sovereign connectivity where failure is not an option.

The technology is already deployed at scale, operating daily in Ukraine and supporting thousands of unmanned missions. Extensive field use under real combat conditions has proven its ability to maintain high-performance communications even amid electronic attacks and degraded networks.

Experts note that unprotected drone communications can be disabled in seconds by modern electronic-warfare systems, underscoring the vital importance of secure, adaptive data-link technology.

“ZeroPhase's technology has proven to be a key enabler. Its adaptive protocol, when integrated into our custom-developed UAV systems and deployed by our expert field teams, has allowed us to maintain communications in the most extremely jammed environments on the frontline - areas where other drones simply cannot fly.” - UAV Operations Lead, Ukraine

With the new funding, ZeroPhase plans to expand its engineering and signal-processing teams, strengthen partnerships across the European defense and aerospace ecosystem, and extend its adaptive communication framework to additional mission profiles and operational domains.

“At BlueYard, we back technologies that move us toward utopia and those that hold the line against oblivion,” said Michael Wax, Partner at BlueYard Capital. “ZeroPhease does both. By securing the invisible layer that allows unmanned systems to communicate and coordinate, they help ensure that free societies can act with confidence. Their systems already prove it daily in Ukraine—built by a team whose clarity, rigor, and purpose deeply impressed us.”
