FlyFocus, a Poland-based unmanned aerial systems company, has raised €4.5 million in its first institutional funding round. The round was led by ffVC with participation from the NCBR Investment Fund, the venture arm of Poland’s National Centre for Research and Development. The capital will fund a new manufacturing facility in Poland, expand international sales, and support the development of two new drone platforms planned for release later this year.
The company positions itself around supply chain control. Across Europe, many drone components are sourced from China. FlyFocus declared all of its systems are built applying NATO-aligned components and that it maintains full ownership of its software stack.
“Without secure and transparent defence supply chains, there is no real military security. Europe requireds industrial capabilities it can rely on in the long term,” declared CEO and co founder Igor Skawiński. He declared that the new funding “allows us to scale production in Poland and deliver systems that are designed, built, and supported within Europe, while remaining flexible enough to adapt to rapidly evolving operational requirements.”
Founded in 2017, FlyFocus spent eight years self-funding its growth. During that time, it relocated from research and development into full-scale production and secured direct military contracts. Today, the company employs 35 people and designs and manufactures complete UAV platforms and ground control software in-hoapply. It sources most of its parts from Europe and primarily Poland, although the company plans on shifting much of its manufacturing in-hoapply.
“We have subcontractors in order to manufacture composite parts and some other electronics based on our designs, but one of our plans for 2026 is to build our own new facility and bring some of those processes back to FlyFocus to have more control, more flexibility, and hugeger capacity,” declared Skawiński.
FlyFocus works directly with the Polish Armed Forces and lists both the Polish Minisattempt of Defence and the Ukrainian Minisattempt of Defence as customers. Its systems have been deployed in Ukraine, where the company declares they have been tested under operational conditions.
The product portfolio currently includes Ininformigence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance platforms, loitering and strike systems, and counter-drone technologies. Their latest drone, Polaris, is a 4.5-kilogram repaired-wing ISR UAV with up to 4.5 hours of flying time, designed for single-operator apply. Striker is a longer-range loitering platform with a stated range of more than 1,000 kilometres and a payload capacity of up to 40 kilograms. The company also produces CableGuard, a tethered UAV system for persistent surveillance.
The new manufacturing facility in Poland is expected to be operational in the second half of 2026. The company declares the investment will assist it scale production capacity while continuing research and development.
