What Oesia does

Grupo Oesía is a Spanish multinational technology group headquartered in Madrid that has operated since 1976 in dual-use (civilian and defense) engineering. The company is organized as a holding of five hyper-specialized brands: Oesía Networks (digital transformation consulting, cybersecurity, cloud, hyperautomation, software quality, PMO, supply chain, and infrastructure engineering), Tecnobit (optronics, IRST, simulation, and secure tactical communications for defense), Cipherbit (cybersecurity and cifra/encryption), UAV Navigation (guidance, navigation, and control systems for unmanned aerial vehicles), and Inster (satellite communications for terrestrial, naval, aerial, and space platforms). The group serves aerospace and defense, public administration, digital health, banking and fintech, insurance, telco, industry, logistics and retail, energy and utilities, and pharma and medtech.

Its core technology spans both hardware and services: GNC autopilots for UAVs, hybrid SATCOM antennas for military aircraft (including a 2026 contract with Airbus for the Eurofighter), optronics and IRST systems, tactical secure communications, and certified cybersecurity (ENS Alta and Media certifications under RD 311-2022). Oesía is positioning itself alongside peers such as Indra, Arquimea, and EM&E for the Spanish government's €1,500 million anti-drone defense modernization program (PEM) and has signed a partnership with Ecliptic Defence and Space for sovereign counter-UAV capabilities. The group also partnered with Shield AI to extend the Hivemind autonomy platform into European and US unmanned systems markets.

Oesía generates revenue through a mix of hardware sales (defense products and subsystems), professional services (digital transformation consulting and engineering services), government and public sector contracts, and licensing or integration services. The company operates an enterprise field sales motion into defense contractors and government agencies, supplemented by defense consortiums (e.g., with Indra, Arquimea, EM&E) and industry events such as Eurosatory 2026. In 2026, Oesía announced a corporate restructuring alongside Nazca Capital to manage a €150 million venture capital fund and prepare for a potential stock market listing, presided over by President Luis Furnells.
