Spanish aerospace and defence IT firm specializing in drone traffic management, border security systems, and cybersecurity for critical infrastructure.
Everis Aeroespacial y Defensa (Everis AD) is a Spanish technology and consulting firm specializing in aerospace, defence, and security solutions. They build systems for border control, unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV/drone) traffic management, and cybersecurity — particularly for critical infrastructure like ports and financial services. Their work spans from intelligent surveillance platforms and drone airspace integration to data protection frameworks, positioning them as a systems integrator that bridges security technology with real-world operational environments.
Coordinated GAUSS (Galileo-EGNOS for UTM safety), participated in ROBORDER (autonomous robot swarms), Metropolis 2 (U-Space separation management), and AMU-LED (urban air mobility demonstrations).
Participated in iBorderCtrl (intelligent portable border control with deception detection) and ROBORDER (autonomous border surveillance robots).
Participated in SOTER (cybersecurity training and resilience for finance) and contributed to DataPorts (secure data platform for maritime/port operations).
Third-party contributor to DataPorts, focused on secure data sharing, trust, and privacy for seaport logistics.
Third-party contributor to PANELFIT, addressing ethical and legal frameworks for ICT including privacy and data protection.
In 2016–2018, Everis AD focused on border security technologies (deception detection, anti-hacking architectures) and early-stage drone/UAV traffic management using satellite navigation (Galileo-EGNOS). From 2019 onward, the emphasis shifted toward cybersecurity for specific industries (finance, maritime), secure data platforms, and large-scale urban air mobility demonstrations. The trajectory shows a clear move from surveillance-oriented security toward operational cybersecurity and drone ecosystem maturation.
Everis AD is converging toward operational drone integration (U-Space, urban air mobility) and sector-specific cybersecurity, making them a strong partner for projects where unmanned systems meet real-world safety and security requirements.
Everis AD primarily operates as a consortium partner or third-party contributor, having coordinated only 1 of 9 projects (GAUSS). With 106 unique partners across 26 countries, they maintain a broad and diverse network rather than relying on repeat partnerships. Their frequent third-party role (3 projects) suggests they are often brought in for specific technical expertise rather than leading project design, which makes them a flexible and low-friction addition to consortia.
Extensive European network spanning 106 unique consortium partners across 26 countries, reflecting broad geographic reach and cross-domain connectivity in security, aerospace, and digital sectors.
Everis AD sits at a rare intersection: they combine aerospace/drone expertise with cybersecurity and border security — domains that increasingly overlap as unmanned systems enter regulated airspace and critical infrastructure. Unlike pure defence contractors, they bring an IT consulting DNA (part of the NTT DATA / everis group), making them adept at data platforms, system integration, and user-facing applications. For consortium builders, they offer a partner who can handle both the airspace management layer and the security architecture beneath it.
