Quadsat
Quadsat is located with headquarters, R&D, and production facilities on the airside of UAS Denmark Test Center—one of Europe’s leading drone testing centers.Originating from satellite antenna calibration, the technology has evolved into a field-deployable capability now also supporting modern defense and Electronic Warfare operations. Our newest addition to our lineup is SpectraLoc an EW payload.
Quadsat enables covert geolocation of radars, air-defense systems, and jammers, delivering actionable insight in contested environments. This transition positions Quadsat as a strategic enabler of spectrum control, operational resilience, and electromagnetic superiority across land, sea, and air.

Spaceline
Spaceline has developed a new generation of stratospheric platform capable of persistent flight for weeks, carrying modular ISR payloads. Combined with an advanced software stack for real-time command, data fusion and AI-driven analysis, the system delivers persistent, sovereign intelligence from the stratosphere.
The scalable architecture allows for large fleet constellations, making Spaceline a cornerstone of Europe’s next-generation space infrastructure.
To support its rapid international growth, Spaceline is constructing a new headquarters in HCA Airport’s business park. The company expects to significantly increase its workforce by the end of 2026, marking a major step in its scale-up journey.
From its facilities at HCA Airport, Spaceline has direct access to near-space operations, enabling regular flight campaigns reaching altitudes above 30 kilometers for continuous validation of high-altitude platforms and payload technologies.
By being part of the UAS Denmark Test Center ecosystem, Spaceline benefits from close collaboration with other aerospace innovators and access to one of Europe’s most advanced test environments – shaping a future where persistent intelligence and autonomy meet in the stratosphere.
Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Ltd.
Kawasaki Heavy Industries selected UAS Denmark Test Center to carry out international flight tests of its unmanned helicopter K-RACER, which is currently under development.
K-RACER combines Kawasaki’s aerospace expertise with high-performance compact engine technology developed through the company’s motorcycle business. The platform features a seven-meter main rotor and is designed to carry payloads of up to 200 kilograms.
Prior to the project in Denmark, K-RACER had only flown in Japan. As part of a broader demonstration program, including operations in complex environments such as wind farms, Kawasaki chose to begin its European activities at HCA Airport.
At UAS Denmark Test Center, Kawasaki conducted the first overseas flight of K-RACER in a controlled and well-supported test environment. The successful test campaign was followed by a demonstration project in Denmark, validating the platform’s performance outside its home market.
The completed tests mark an important step toward preparing K-RACER for practical applications in international markets. The project underlines how UAS Denmark Test Center supports global manufacturers in transitioning unmanned aircraft from domestic testing to real-world operations in Europe.
The University of Southern Denmark
SDU UAS Center conducts research, education as well as collaboration in the domain of drones. The center was established in 2015, counts 20 employees and works from a large research hangar at UAS Denmark Test Center.
SDU UAS Center carries out research in drone technologies and future drone applications within sectors and industries such as healthcare, agriculture, inspection and emergency management.
Through cooperation with leading universities, UAS businesses, public-private research institutions and government regulatory bodies, the SDU UAS Center advances UAS command and control, reliability, safety, and airspace integration. With a focus on applying drones in real life cases, the facilities in and the airspace around UAS Denmark Test Center is used intensively by the center and their many cooperation partners.
