Autonomous and reliable awareness
without complex infrastructure.
Our technology delivers mission-critical autonomy for unmanned systems in forests, urban areas, and contested terrains, giving operators trusted aerial capabilities and the freedom to focus on the mission when it matters most.

Kova Labs exists to redefine how humans and machines fight together to protect Europe and its allies. We believe that autonomy is not just the next step in defence, but the foundation layer of future sovereignty.

Our vision is to bring mission-critical autonomy into every aerial operation. By taking over navigation, perception, and execution in the hardest environments, our systems free warfighters to focus on what only humans can do: judgement, strategy, and command. This is the next level of soldier-machine collaboration.

Starting with unlocking under-canopy autonomy, we are unlocking contested domains that have long been out of reach for aerial systems.

We are building a future where autonomy is accessible, scalable, and ever-present, delivering 24/7 capability across every domain in the battlefield.
