propulsion.
Brushless motors, motor controllers and seekers for drones and counter-drone systems. EU origin. Worldwide distribution.
Counter-drone warfare has made propulsion a consumable. Every interceptor is single-use, and every one needs motors, controllers and a seeker.
of the air targets Ukraine destroys are credited to interceptor drones. Each one fired creates replacement demand.

Motors, controllers and seekers for small and medium unmanned systems, from ISR drones to the interceptors now being built at scale.
- 01
Brushless motors
Efficiency, power density and thermal headroom, engineered for repeatable volume production.
- 02
Motor controllers (ESCs)
Drive electronics and telemetry matched to each motor, delivered as one propulsion package.
- 03
Seekers
Guidance for interceptor and counter-drone applications.
EU origin. Worldwide distribution.
Trusted origin
Designed and made in the EU, with a traceable bill of materials and diversified magnet sourcing.
Supply you can count on
Production capacity with surge headroom, so supply holds when demand spikes.
Partner, not competitor
We make propulsion, not airframes. We supply drone and counter-drone makers and never compete with them.
Qualified before scale
Every product is qualified against agreed test standards with its users before volume production.
Made in Europe.
Shipped worldwide.
- Engineering
- Electromagnetics, power electronics, mechanics and thermal design under one roof.
- Production
- Motors and propulsion electronics assembled and bench-tested in our EU facility.
- Test & qualification
- Bench, environmental, RF, GNSS and flight testing.
- Magnet security
- Traceable, diversified sourcing, tracked as a critical path.
Built by people who have done it before.
- 70+
- years of combined defence-industry experience in the founding team
- 18+
- defence products taken from requirement to fielded service
Our founders have built sovereign defence-electronics capability from the ground up before. SOMAI applies the same playbook to propulsion.
Built to be built.
From the first design iteration, we plan how each product will be manufactured, tested and scaled.
- 01 / Design
Performance, thermal headroom and high-yield manufacturability.
