Presentation To UK & NZ Prime Ministers

Our CEO Samuel Vye had the honour of presenting SYOS’s latest drone technology to UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer and New Zealand Prime Minister Christopher Luxon during their joint visit to a UK military base. The PMs took a close look at our SM1000 uncrewed surface vehicle (USV) and a range of UAVs and even gave SYOS a special mention in their announcement of a new UK–New Zealand defence cooperation agreement.

As a company with roots in both the UK and New Zealand, this moment made us immensely proud, especially following an unforgettable evening of networking and traditional Māori kapa haka that reminded us just how powerful shared culture can be. From our R&D and prototyping roots in New Zealand to our high-volume production facility in Fareham, Hampshire, SYOS is built for agility and scale. We’re capable of producing thousands of uncrewed systems a year.

Our secret sauce…. Mass production at speed, powered by our proprietary Autonomy & Augmented Intelligence Mission System – designed to meet real-world demands across defence, civil, and beyond.
