Six Robotics raises €12M for defence autonomy
Oslo-based Six Robotics raised €12M to expand autonomy software for unmanned systems, backed by DTCP Defence, EIFO and Scale Capital.
European defence tech is increasingly becoming a software story, not only a hardware story.
What happened
Oslo-based Six Robotics raised a €12M seed round to accelerate its autonomy software platform for unmanned systems.
The round was led by DTCP Defence, with participation from EIFO, Scale Capital and other private investors.
Why it matters
The key signal is the software layer. Defence organisations are adopting more unmanned systems, but the hard part is making those systems useful, coordinated and reliable inside complex operating environments.
Six Robotics sits in that infrastructure layer, where autonomy software can make different systems easier to manage and integrate.
The bigger picture
European defence tech is moving from individual tools toward broader platforms. Investors are looking for companies that can connect hardware, data and operational workflows in ways that fit real procurement needs.
That makes autonomy software one of the more important categories to watch as Europe increases focus on strategic technology.
