Tekever Opening Base In Denmark, Flies AR5 From UK Carrier

Portuguese drone manufacturer Tekever is establishing its first Nordic operational base in Odense, Denmark, with backing from Denmark’s state investment fund, following a separate AR5 carrier demonstration with the Royal Navy. The fixed-wing uncrewed aircraft flew from Tekever’s training centre in Portugal to HMS Queen Elizabeth in October 2026, completed two landings and two takeoffs on the flight deck, and returned to land. The flights demonstrated carrier operation of the reusable surveillance aircraft, while the Odense base will give Tekever a regional presence for its Nordic activities.
