Tekever – Autonomous Systems and AI for Strategic Intelligence
Tekever is a Portugal-based company specialized in autonomous aerial systems, advanced analytics, and space-based intelligence solutions for defense and civilian missions. Founded in 2001 by computer science researchers, Tekever has evolved into one of Europe’s most strategic defense technology firms. Its portfolio includes the AR series of fixed-wing drones, the ATLAS real-time intelligence platform, proprietary synthetic aperture radar (GAMASAR), and advanced satellite communications. Tekever’s drones are deployed by armed forces, coast guards, and civilian agencies across Europe for maritime patrol, ISR, border surveillance, and search and rescue. The company combines vertical integration with AI-driven autonomy to deliver full-stack solutions—from drone design to actionable data fusion.
