Delkia will showcase its advanced engineering capabilities at DSEI 2025, the world’s premier defence and security exhibition, taking place at ExCeL London from 9–12 September.
The Delkia team will showcase the company’s cutting-edge capabilities in systems integration, digital engineering and technical consultancy across the highly regulated aerospace and maritime sectors. On display will be their first Dragonfly aircraft, Teneral – an experimental, uncrewed emergency response aircraft, which has successfully completed its first phase of flight testing.
This year’s presence at DSEI is particularly significant, following Delkia’s leadership of the Encompass group, a consortium of nine SMEs, in securing a major contract with the UK Ministry of Defence.
Part of the Marine Systems Support Transformation (MaST) programme, the contract will deliver technical and post-design services to support the Royal Navy Surface Fleet. The Encompass group will provide innovative, digitally enabled solutions, including design revisions, reverse engineering, and through-life support services such as obsolescence and defect management.
Delkia’s strategic growth in defence is further underscored by a scheduled VIP visit from Bethania Ciocca, Head of Power, Propulsion and Auxiliaries at DE&S, on Tuesday 9 September. Her visit with the team at DSEI reflects the MoD’s interest in Delkia’s contributions to the MaST programme and its broader role in defence transformation.
Kurt Canfield, CEO of Delkia, said: “Delkia is proud to lead the Encompass group in this transformative contract. It’s a testament to the engineering excellence of our team and partners, and it reinforces our commitment to supporting the UK’s defence capabilities.
“We look forward to engaging with partners, suppliers and customers at DSEI – highlighting our technical capabilities and strengthening our relationships with key stakeholders in UK defence. DSEI offers a vital platform to demonstrate how SMEs are driving innovation and resilience in defence systems.”
Delkia invites defence professionals, procurement leads and industry partners to visit the team at Stand N5-205 to discuss their latest projects and future collaboration opportunities.
Delkia will be exhibiting alongside its sister company SyntheSys Defence Systems, which specialises in tactical data links, secure communications and critical network solutions.
