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.

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.
