PBS Group to Supply Jet Engines for US White Spike Anti‑Drone Interceptor

Czech aerospace firm PBS Group announced that it will provide its TJ40 and TJ80 jet engines for Zone 5 Technologies' White Spike anti‑drone interceptor. The engines will be produced at PBS Group's plant in Roswell, Georgia, United States, and the deal was disclosed during the Farnborough International Airshow.

PBS Group’s owner, William Didden, said the partnership strengthens the United States’ defence industrial base and supports NATO allies. The companies also cooperate on other projects, including a cruise‑missile programme linked to Ukraine.

The agreement expands PBS Group’s presence in the US market and adds European‑made jet‑engine capability to US anti‑drone systems.
