When Klaus Scho founded his start-up Germandrones in 2016, he never imagined manufacturing devices destined for the battlefield: "At the time, the idea was to carry out ground surveillance, agricultural monitoring and transporting equipment." But because of the pandemic, he lost all his contracts in Germany. So when in 2021 he was contacted by the German armed forces, which were interested in his tracking and surveillance technology, he did not hesitate for long. Today, Germandrones is one of the German market leaders in surveillance drones, and sells a large share of its production to the Ukrainian armed forces: "Unlike other companies, when Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022, we had products that worked. And we were able to deliver relatively quickly. Today, several hundred of our systems are in use in Ukraine."
