Omnes invests in ZeroPhase’s €5.8 million seed round to deliver a next-generation communication layer for unmanned defense systems
Seed funding supports expansion of software-defined communication technology already operational across thousands of missions in Ukraine
Omnes invests in ZeroPhase's €5.8 million seed round to deliver next-generation communication layer for unmanned defense systems. The funding will accelerate the development and deployment of ZeroPhase’s adaptive communication layer - high-performance, resilient connectivity that preserves sovereign control of critical links across air, land, and sea.
“Communication is the nervous system of defense, communication decides outcomes. Our goal is to ensure it never fails. And with the support of Blueyard, we’re building adaptive data links that deliver uncompromising performance and reliability - adaptable across domains and mission types, forming the foundation of trusted connectivity for the unmanned systems of tomorrow.”
Unmanned defense systems rely on robust, low-latency communication to transmit video, telemetry, and command data under demanding conditions. The number of these systems in operation is expected to exceed 4.5 million units in Ukraine alone in 2025, making secure and stable data links more critical than ever. ZeroPhase’s data links dynamically adapt to jamming, interference, and signal degradation-ensuring mission continuity and trusted, sovereign connectivity where failure is not an option.
ZeroPhase’s technology is already deployed at scale, operating daily in Ukraine and supporting thousands of unmanned missions. Extensive field use under real combat conditions has validated the company’s ability to maintain high-performance communication even under electronic attack and degraded network conditions. Experts estimate that today’s electronic-warfare systems can disable unprotected drone communications in a matter of seconds - highlighting the critical importance of secure and adaptive data-link technology.
With this new funding, ZeroPhase will expand its engineering and signal-processing teams, deepen partnerships across the European defense and aerospace ecosystem, and extend its adaptive communication framework to additional mission profiles and operational domains.
