UXV Technologies and Aktyvus Photonics Announce Strategic Partnership

Vilnius, Lithuania - January 29, 2026 - UXV Technologies and Aktyvus Photonics have today signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) establishing a strategic partnership focused on the integration of advanced laser technologies into stabilized gimballed camera and imaging systems for unmanned aerial vehicles in the defense market.

As part of the partnership, the two companies will collaborate on integrating Aktyvus Photonics’ laser target designators into UXV Technologies’ gimbal solutions. By combining advanced sensor capabilities with laser designation in a compact and lightweight gimbal, the integrated solution significantly reduces resource requirements and shortens the time from target identification to effect, enabling precision target designation from smaller drone platforms.

The MoU was signed today in Vilnius during a high-level event held in parallel with the official Danish State Visit to Lithuania, in the presence of senior industry and government representatives from both Denmark and Lithuania.

As part of the event, UXV Technologies unveiled the latest addition to its series of stabilized gimballed cameras, the Optroxa GMB-2000 LTD, equipped with Aktyvus Photonics’ laser target designator.

Laurynas Šatas, CEO of Aktyvus Photonics, stated regarding the new strategic partnership:
“By combining pioneering laser designation with UXV Technologies’ gimbals, we are addressing real operational needs. UXV Technologies’ strong focus on modular, open architectures and innovation makes them an ideal partner and supports the strengthening of European defense cooperation and sovereignty in critical technologies such as laser systems.”

Steven Friberg, CEO of UXV Technologies, also emphasized the partnership’s exciting potential:
“We are excited to expand our collaboration with Aktyvus Photonics by integrating their advanced laser technology. With this cutting-edge stabilized gimballed camera system, UXV Technologies is reducing the time from target identification to effect and enabling a truly innovative operational capability from drone platforms. This partnership also reflects a shared commitment to advancing European capabilities in critical defense technologies.”
