HelsingIn Trials / Early Production
A ~2 m, ~60 kg autonomous underwater glider that patrols for up to three months running Lura, a 'large acoustic model' trained on decades of ocean sound to detect and classify ships and submarines. Deployable in swarms as affordable persistent undersea surveillance; built in Plymouth for the Royal Navy's Atlantic Bastion program.

At-sea trials completed 2025 incl. Royal Navy swarm deployments in the Hebridean Sea; Plymouth factory producing since Nov 2025; full operational capability still targeted end-2026 with no FOC announcement as of September 17, 2026

Announced next steps from Helsing that mention SG-1 Fathom (with Lura).
Q4 2026
After Hebridean Sea swarm trials and the December 2025 launch of the UK's Atlantic Bastion undersea-surveillance network, hundreds of Plymouth-built Fathom gliders are to reach full operational capability by the end of 2026. The Royal Navy held further supplier demo days for the wider undersea-surveillance programme in April 2026. Re-checked on September 17, 2026 against Helsing's Fathom product page, Royal Navy Atlantic Bastion coverage, and recent news: no FOC date has been announced and the end-2026 target is unchanged. Watch for the first sustained North Atlantic ASW patrols and any follow-on orders from other NATO navies.

Electrically propelled X-wing precision strike drone (loitering munition) with onboard AI that keeps hunting and re-identifying targets through GPS denial and jamming, with a human on the loop for critical decisions. Software-defined and built for low-cost mass production; combat-deployed in Ukraine and ordered by the Bundeswehr.
Reconnaissance-strike software platform that fuses feeds from many drones into a single battlefield picture and coordinates swarming strikes. Acts as the command-and-control layer above HX-2 and other unmanned systems, and is deployed in Ukraine.
AI air-combat agent ('AI fighter pilot') trained by reinforcement learning at massive scale. In Saab's Project Beyond it took control of a Gripen E fighter over the Baltic in May–June 2025 - a publicly claimed world first for AI flying a real fighter in beyond-visual-range combat scenarios - and is the native autonomy stack for the CA-1 Europa.
AI electronic-warfare software that uses deep learning to classify unknown radar emitters and infer their intent in real time. Being integrated into Saab's Arexis EW suite for Germany's 15 Eurofighter EK electronic-combat jets under a €258M contract signed November 2025, replacing Tornado ECR capability around 2030.
An autonomous combat aircraft in the three-to-five-tonne class, developed and built by Helsing subsidiary Grob Aircraft in Bavaria and natively flown by the Centaur AI. Unveiled September 2025; at ILA Berlin 2026 Helsing added a dedicated CA-1EA electronic-attack variant alongside the CA-1KA kinetic-attack version, pitching the only all-European 'wingman' answer to systems like the EA-18G Growler.
Autonomous quadrupedal ground robot, acquired with Keybotic in January 2026, built to navigate multi-story industrial sites without GPS using onboard cameras and sensors, climbing stairs and slopes while its visual, thermal and acoustic sensors detect anomalies and trigger real-time alerts. Originally sold for energy, oil-and-gas and mining inspection; Helsing is integrating it into its broader autonomous-systems and ground-robotics line.
A quadrupedal robotics research platform designed and manufactured in Europe, including Helsing-designed actuators, unveiled June 1, 2026 with the public launch of Area 9, Helsing's advanced research division led by Chief Scientist Antoine Bordes. Built for outdoor autonomy research rather than combat sales; Helsing is making it available to academic labs, starting with ETH Zurich (Marco Hutter) and INRIA Paris.
