Vancouver, BC – TheNewswire - December 8, 2025 – Critical Infrastructure Technologies Ltd. (CSE: CTTT) (OTC: CITLF) (FRA: X9V) (“CiTech” or the “Company”), a leading developer of autonomous, high-capacity mobile communications and security platforms, is pleased to announce the signing of a Mutual Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) with Babcock International Group PLC (LSE: BAB) (“Babcock”), and Draganfly Inc. (NASDAQ: DPRO) (“Draganfly”) to progress a strategic, multi-company collaboration aimed at strengthening defence and security capabilities across the Asia-Pacific region.

The collaboration brings together complementary strengths across defence engineering, advanced technology integration, unmanned systems, and mission-critical operational delivery, enabling sophisticated, scalable solutions for governments, military forces, and national-security stakeholders throughout the region.

 

Leveraging the Strengths of Three Proven Organisations

Babcock International Group

Babcock is one of the United Kingdom’s leading defence primes, delivering mission-critical engineering, naval support, fleet management, training, base operations, and major defence programs. Its longstanding support to the UK Ministry of Defence and allied nations provides a trusted pathway into rapidly developing Asia-Pacific defence markets.

Critical Infrastructure Technologies Ltd.

CiTech provides advanced engineering capabilities, mission-system integration, and technology-driven solutions for defence, national security, critical infrastructure, and energy. CiTech specialises in digital architectures, sensor ecosystems, data platforms, decision-support systems, and resilient mission environments, forming the technological backbone of the partnership.

Draganfly Inc.

Draganfly is an award-winning developer of unmanned aerial systems (UAS) and sensor-driven data solutions. Its recent military sale of Commander 3XL unmanned systems into the Asia-Pacific region validates the operational maturity of its platforms and reinforces its role in frontline mission support. Draganfly’s NDAA-compliant and NATO-supportive systems support military, public-safety, and disaster-response operations.

 

Strengthening Regional Defence Modernisation

Together, the three companies form a comprehensive capability stack spanning:

• Mission-critical defence engineering, sustainment, and fleet support (Babcock) 

• High-assurance digital integration, sensor networks, and resilient mission systems (CiTech) 

• Advanced UAS, ISR technologies, and operational platforms (Draganfly) 

This unified capability supports end-to-end solutions across:

• National defence modernisation 

• Border and maritime security 

• Disaster and humanitarian response 

• Multi-domain situational awareness 

• Critical infrastructure protection 

• Training, sustainment, and operational lifecycle services 

 

Positioned for Asia-Pacific Defence Priorities

As Asia-Pacific governments prioritise security resilience, sovereign capability, and rapid-response technologies, the combined strengths of Babcock, CiTech, and Draganfly position the group to meet regional requirements with integrated, technologically advanced, and operationally proven solutions.

The parties will now begin evaluating targeted opportunities and joint-program concepts tailored to defence and security needs across the region.
