HOLLYWOOD, MD / ACCESS Newswire / August 27, 2025 / Platform Aerospace is proud to announce the official launch of Platform Aerospace, UK. This new entity enhances on-continent capabilities, supporting our UK, NATO, and European partners with advanced Uncrewed Air System (UAS) solutions.
Leading the UK entity, Jeremy (Jez) Cooper, UK Managing Director, will facilitate strategic partnerships, operational growth, and fielding to support growing demand for the Vanilla UAS. "Platform Aerospace UK is a natural extension of our US-based team. With growing demand for ultra-long endurance or persistent mission performance, including ISTAR and LTDF, expanding our UK presence and investing in the UK economy makes perfect sense." Jim Snow, Platform Aerospace Chief Growth Officer.
Jez will spearhead Platform Aerospace strategic growth across the UK and Europe. Driving market expansion for the Vanilla UAS platform, Jez will cultivate partnerships with defence and industry stakeholders and oversee the execution of active contracts in the region. "Our UK and European customers are beginning to understand the benefits of fielding an UAS that can remain airborne for days and days at a time - lower procurement, logistics, manning, and maintenance costs with unprecedented endurance and payload capacity." Jim Snow
With 28 years in the UK Armed Forces, serving in Force Protection, UAS, and Intelligence specialist roles, Jez's experience and knowledge will assist Platform Aerospace UK with rapidly delivering our disruptive UAS solution to UK, NATO, and European customers. "I am excited and humbled to lead Platform Aerospace's new UK-based endeavour. Vanilla UAS' unmatched endurance, range and payload capacity enables assured ISTAR in the most demanding environments. I look forward to working with existing and future partners to deliver this industry-leading capability to enhance their mission delivery." Jez Cooper, UK Managing Director
As demand grows, Jez will establish in-country production and training facilities. Platform Aerospace UK will initially focus on existing and emerging customer requirements and brand awareness.
