Last week, Confidee attended the International Drone Show in Odense, Denmark, one of the most important drone events in Europe for 2025.
“With hundreds of attendees and exhibitors from across the global drone ecosystem, the show offered a dynamic platform for sharing knowledge, network and explore the technologies shaping the future of unmanned systems”, says Torben Hajslund Sales Manager Denmark
From cutting-edge UAV demos and live test flights to expert panels covering regulations, advanced air mobility, and defence applications, the event reflected a fast-moving industry that increasingly depends on high-performance electronics.
PCB Technology at the core of drone innovation
Drones, whether designed for defence or civil aviation, place demanding requirements on the printed circuit boards that power them. Lightweight construction, resistance to vibration, thermal stability, and electromagnetic compatibility are just a few of the challenges that PCB designers and suppliers must solve.
“We understand that some drone systems demand more than just standard electronics. They need trusted, high-quality PCBs that meet strict regulatory and performance standards. That’s why we focus on around certification, quality, and compliance”, says Torben Hajslund Sales Manager Denmark.
A Certified Partner for a demanding industry
At Confidee, certifications are a core part of how we build trust.
“With AS9120, ISO 9001, and ISO 27001, we ensure quality, traceability, and data security at every stage. In a high-stakes industry like drones and aerospace, that level of assurance is a must,” says Hajslund.
AS9120
This aerospace-grade certification ensures full traceability, rigorous documentation, and compliance with aviation and defence supply chain requirements. For drone companies, it means confidence in every component delivered.
ISO 9001
Quality is built into every process. From supplier qualification to final inspection, our systems are structured to ensure consistency, reliability, and performance.
ISO 27001
In an industry where protecting design data and sensitive project files is critical, our certified information security management system safeguards customer confidentiality at every step.
These certifications aren’t just logos on a wall, they’re part of how we work, and why our partners in high-tech sectors trust us.
A strategic partner
Beyond certifications, Confidee brings deep industry knowledge to drone projects. We help customers design for compliance, choose the right materials, and ensure boards meet real-world performance conditions—from altitude-induced thermal cycling to rapid accelerations and EMI exposure.
For drone companies operating in defence, security, or dual-use domains, our expertise with export controls, end-use restrictions, and tiered supplier requirements ensures smooth collaboration from prototype to production.
Shaping the future, together
Our presence at the International Drone Show reinforced what we already know: the future of unmanned systems is fast, collaborative, and precision driven. Confidee is proud to support that future by providing the PCB backbone these technologies rely on – with quality you can trust, and compliance you can rely on.
Designing PCBs for drones, a few points to remember?
Weight & size optimization
Every gram counts. PCBs must be compact, lightweight, yet structurally robust.
Signal integrity & high-speed design
Reliable RF and sensor signal processing is essential for avionics, navigation, and control.
Thermal resilience & vibration tolerance
Flight conditions can be harsh—PCBs must endure stress and dissipate heat efficiently.
Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)
Drones operate in complex RF environments; PCBs need shielding and design care to prevent interference.
