JB OKT Defence provides launchers for drones (UAVs), container-based and other supporting equipment for the defence and security industries – serving both the military and civil market.
Who We Are
JB OKT Defence is a defence technology company specializing in advanced launch and support systems for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and other mission-critical equipment – serving both the military and civil market. As part of the JB Group, we combine deep expertise from the oil & gas sector with cutting-edge defence innovation, delivering robust, container-based solutions tailored for demanding environments.
Our Heritage
For over four decades, we’ve worked alongside UAV operators facing a fundamental challenge: how to reliably launch fixed-wing aircraft in harsh, unpredictable field conditions. Through continuous development and real-world testing with military and civil customers, we’ve refined pneumatic launch technology that solves problems traditional catapult systems can’t — delivering gentle acceleration, silent operation, and all-weather reliability. This field-proven heritage, backed by JB Group’s offshore engineering legacy, makes us the trusted choice for mission-critical UAV deployment.
