Cohort has announced that its subsidiary, Marlborough Communications Ltd (MCL), has won contracts totalling £17.9m.
The larger award, valued at £14.0m, comes from a UK government customer and covers the immediate delivery of uncrewed air systems along with two years of in-service support. MCL will collaborate with its long-standing partner Skydio to supply these systems.
Additionally, MCL has received a separate order worth £3.9m. This contract involves the supply of tactical audio systems for a UK customer.
The dual contract wins underscore MCL’s strengthening position in defence technology solutions and its ability to deliver advanced systems to government clients.
“These valuable orders demonstrate the strength of MCL’s relationships with its UK customers. Its highly skilled and knowledgeable team has a proven track record of combining the latest innovations in technology with expert engineering to meet urgent defence needs,” said Andrew Thomis, Cohort Chief Executive.
“These latest contracts, combined with other recent orders across the Group, further enhance our order book and the visibility of future revenues. Sufficient orders have now been secured to underpin fully the Group’s 2025/26 financial year consensus forecast revenue.”
Cohort shares were around 1% higher at the time of writing.
The fresh contract wins follow Cohort’s interim report released earlier in January, which highlights continued revenue growth for the group. Cohort’s revenue hit £128.8m in the 6 months to October 2025, up from £118m in the same period a year prior.
