SCP Standard Capital Partners pivots to defense with dual acquisitions

The acquisitions involve capital increases in kind, utilizing the company's 2026 authorized capital to issue new shares alongside cash payments. Vanea Technologies brings expertise in autonomous warfare solutions, while the Osnabrück-based Nocturne Technologies, also known as Nocturne Defence, contributes specialized counter-UAS systems for military and civil applications.

The financial terms reflect a strategic entry into the sector, with the Vanea acquisition valued in the low six-figure range and the Nocturne deal reaching a high six-figure sum. Following the integration of these entities, SCP intends to propose a complete overhaul of its corporate purpose during an upcoming extraordinary general meeting. This transition solidifies the firm's ambition to position itself as a dedicated player in the evolving landscape of autonomous defense technology.
