Company Overview

Cambridge Aerospace is a United Kingdom defense technology company developing kinetic counter-unmanned aerial system (counter-UAS) interceptors designed to defeat drones and low-speed aerial threats at a fraction of the cost of conventional air-defense missiles. Founded in 2024 and headquartered in Cambridge, England, the company was established by aerospace engineer and University of Cambridge professor Steven Barrett, who previously led research at MIT, together with Chris Sylvan, former head of UK business development at Anduril; the company is chaired by Grant Shapps, a former UK Defence Secretary. Cambridge Aerospace positions itself as a pure-play kinetic counter-UAS supplier addressing the growing need among NATO and allied militaries for affordable, scalable defenses against mass drone and loitering-munition attacks. Its lead product, Skyhammer, is an interceptor with a stated range of more than 30 km and a top speed of around 700 km/h, intended to engage threats such as Shahed-style attack drones and low-speed cruise missiles. A higher-performance interceptor, Starhammer, is designed to counter faster-moving threats including cruise missiles.

The company has reported engagement with the UK Ministry of Defence to deliver air-defense systems. As an emerging defense supplier operating in the autonomous and counter-autonomy domain, Cambridge Aerospace's systems are oriented toward special and extreme operational environments. Public details on certifications and full technical specifications remain limited given the company's early stage and defense focus.
