TechBritish defense manufacturer Cambridge Aerospace will present its tube-launched Skyhammer and Starhammer interceptors at the Future Forces Exhibition & Forum in Prague from October 21 to 23, 2026. The company, founded in September 2024, has reached 250 employees and raised over $630 million, including a $300 million Series C round that valued it at $3.4 billion. The Skyhammer is a 17 kg turbojet-powered interceptor (700 km/h, 30+ km range) designed for low-speed UAVs, while the Starhammer is a Mach 2+ rocket-powered missile for cruise missiles and high-velocity targets. Cambridge Aerospace plans to produce 2,500 Skyhammer units per month by March 2027. The UK Ministry of Defence has already placed a rapid procurement contract for the system.
