TYTAN opens Munich plant able to build up to 3,000 autonomous interceptor drones a month

Nov 10, 2026
TYTAN Technologies' €10 million Munich site starts with about 60 staff; it also showed a Dingo 2 counter-drone vehicle with KNDS, with series production planned for early 2027.

TYTAN Technologies opened an interceptor drone plant in Munich on 9 November, with Bavarian Minister-President Markus Söder and Federal Economy Minister Katherina Reiche attending, that can produce up to 3,000 autonomous aircraft a month, according to Tech Times. The company did not disclose current monthly output, order volumes or delivery schedules.

The Munich-Aubing facility covers about 3,000 square meters and represents an investment of about €10 million. It initially employs about 60 people, with staffing expected to reach 100 through shift work.

TYTAN also presented a mobile counter-drone system built with KNDS Deutschland on the Dingo 2 vehicle. The vehicle can carry four METIS V2 launch containers with three interceptors each, while a three-panel Hensoldt Spexer radar provides 360-degree coverage. Series production of the mobile platform is planned for early 2027.

TYTAN interceptors receive initial guidance from ground radar before AI-assisted terminal guidance tracks the target through an onboard camera. Published performance figures come from the manufacturers, and independent test data against jet-powered drones was not available.
