Critical Infrastructure Technologies Ltd. (CSE: CTTT) (OTC: CITLF) (FRA: X9V) announced the signing of a Mutual Non-Disclosure Agreement with Babcock International Group PLC and Draganfly Inc. to pursue a strategic multi-company collaboration aimed at strengthening defence and security capabilities across the Asia-Pacific region. The agreement brings together complementary strengths in defence engineering, advanced technology integration, unmanned systems, and mission-critical operational delivery.
Babcock International Group, a FTSE 100 defence prime, delivers mission-critical engineering, naval support, fleet management, training, and base operations. Its longstanding support to the UK Ministry of Defence and allied nations provides a trusted pathway into Asia-Pacific defence markets. CiTech specializes in digital architectures, sensor ecosystems, data platforms, and resilient mission environments, forming the technological backbone of the partnership. Draganfly, an award-winning developer of unmanned aerial systems, recently completed a military sale of its Commander 3XL systems into the Asia-Pacific region, validating its operational maturity.
Together, the three companies form a comprehensive capability stack: Babcock provides mission-critical defence engineering and sustainment; CiTech offers high-assurance digital integration and sensor networks; and Draganfly contributes advanced UAS and ISR technologies. This unified capability supports end-to-end solutions for national defence modernisation, border and maritime security, disaster response, multi-domain situational awareness, critical infrastructure protection, and training.
As Asia-Pacific governments prioritise security resilience and sovereign capability, the combined strengths of Babcock, CiTech, and Draganfly position the group to meet regional requirements with integrated, technologically advanced, and operationally proven solutions. The parties will now begin evaluating targeted opportunities and joint-program concepts tailored to defence and security needs across the region.
Separately, CiTech announced an additional advance of €50,000 to Plutus Invest and Consulting GmbH on account of marketing and communications services provided under a consulting agreement dated July 16, 2025. This follows a previous advance reported in the company's news release of July 22, 2025.
On behalf of the board, Brenton Scott, Director and CEO of Critical Infrastructure Technologies, stated that the collaboration leverages the strengths of three proven organisations to deliver sophisticated solutions for governments, military forces, and national-security stakeholders throughout the Asia-Pacific region. The company's Nexus 16 platform, which provides critical mobile telecommunications for mining, defence, border security, and emergency services, is part of CiTech's broader portfolio of autonomous, rapidly deployable technology.
