The contract, signed this morning, sees Defense invest tens of millions of euros in the roughly five-year-old Amsterdam-based company, whose software allows the armed forces to control any brand and type of drone simultaneously. The parties will spend the coming months exploring a "golden share" structure that would give the Dutch state veto power over major decisions such as a relocation; Parliament must still approve that special share. State Secretary Boswijk cited a need to prevent foreign acquisition of Intelic's "unique knowledge" and did not rule out future deals with other strategically sensitive firms.
