Cambridge Aerospace, a UK-based defense technology startup, has raised $300 million in a Series C funding round at a $3.4 billion valuation. The round was led by DFJ Growth, a prominent venture capital firm that also backed defense unicorn Anduril Industries.
Founded in September 2024, Cambridge Aerospace specializes in developing low-cost interceptor systems to counter drones and cruise missiles. Its flagship products, Skyhammer and Starhammer, are designed to provide affordable air defense solutions for European and allied militaries.
This latest funding marks a 2.6x valuation jump in just four months, following a $200 million Series B round at a $1.3 billion valuation in April 2026. Including earlier rounds, the company has now raised over $636 million in total funding.
Other investors participating in the Series C round include Lux Capital, Accel, Lakestar, Never Lift, Ora Global, and Elad Gil & Co. The company plans to use the funds to scale manufacturing, expand its team, and deliver on existing government contracts.
Cambridge Aerospace’s rapid growth reflects rising investor interest in defense technologies amid global security challenges, particularly following the Ukraine war and increased NATO re-armament efforts.
