About

Beyond Mission & Impossible


Beyond Mission & Impossible Ltd. (BMI) is at the forefront of next-generation unmanned systems and Counter-UAS (C-UAS) solutions — technologies that are reshaping the future of safety, defense, and operational effectiveness worldwide. Unmanned systems are the future. They save lives by performing high-risk tasks remotely—such as rescue missions, de-mining missions, defense applications, and unmanned logistics.

At BMI, we believe in pushing the boundaries of what is possible. Our name reflects our purpose: to go beyond conventional limits in high-risk and complex environments where traditional solutions fall short. Through innovation, engineering excellence, and deep domain experience, we develop systems that protect lives, enhance mission outcomes, and empower operators across military, humanitarian, and industrial applications.


Founded from a passion for solving real-world challenges, BMI brings together a team of experts committed to pioneering advancements in unmanned technologies. Our founder, Nicolaas van Nes, has a history of international project leadership and operational insight — shaped by hands-on involvement in high-stakes environments.

This background fuels our mission to create systems that not only meet today’s challenges but anticipate tomorrow’s threats.


Founder Nicolaas van Nes worked in Ukraine from 2009 as a project manager, including assignments linked to EURO 2012 Ukraine | Tax Reform Ukraine | Agri Cooperative Europe U.A.  In 2018, he returned to the Netherlands with his Ukrainian wife and children.

Following the large-scale invasion in 2022, he went back to Ukraine and became actively involved as a volunteer. Later that year, BMI Europe B.V. was established with a South Korean partner to develop high-end lightweight protective armour systems. After a feasibility study, the project was discontinued in 2024 due to the unfavorable business climate and BMI decided to relocate to the United Kingdom.

In October 2025, Beyond Mission & Impossible Ltd was registered in the United Kingdom and obtained its NATO NCAGE code U2FX7

Mission

Mission-Ready. Built to Scale.


While working in Ukraine, BMI founder Nicolaas collaborated closely with drone and counter-drone manufacturers, combat-units and witnessed innovations in the field advancing at an unprecedented rapid pace. With more than 350 drone companies active in Ukraine and only a few manufacturing at scale, many drones are still built using labor-intensive, hand-assembled expensive carbon-fiber frames.


Drawing on his background in epoxy, plastics, and project management, Nicolaas redesigned the manufacturing process. BMI® developed a two-part, assembly-friendly airframe. When combined with solder-free electronics developed by a European partner, this approach reduces drone assembly time by up to 60/70%.


To further accelerate deployment, we created a universal drone dovetail rail system that enables fast, tool-free attachment of payloads such as fiber-optic spools, battery housings, ammunition release systems, and droppers—without zip ties or improvised mounts.


A patent-pending acoustic homing system for interceptor and FPV drones targeting Shahed-type of drones and not limited other acoustically identifiable threats.

We continud testing and refinement of our next-generation fiber-optic spool systems with a range up to 50 kilometer with build in ammo and F.O. trancievers and drone rail system.

Innovations

Field-Proven Innovations -Scaled to Mass Production


Europe is investing heavily to restore defence readiness and close critical capability gaps. Investment alone does not deliver operational capability or industrial resilience. Across the EU, parallel development continues to produce overlapping solutions that are over-engineered, cost-inefficient and slow to reach Initial Operational Capability (IOC). Many systems pass controlled field tests under ideal weather conditions but many fail under real “near”combat conditions.

War = Economics


Inefficient programmes, limited scalability and slow industrial ramp-up directly weaken the European Defence Technological and Industrial Base (EDTIB). In a protracted conflict, decisive factors are manufacturability, cost efficiency, supply-chain robustness and the ability to sustain and replace capabilities at scale.

Innovation must be measured by operational relevance, speed to fielding, interoperability and scalability. Beyond Mission & Impossible Ltd. (BMI) supports defence companies and procurement authorities in scaling field-proven solutions to EU- and NATO-aligned mass production. BMI reduces acquisition risk, shortens delivery timelines and strengthens European industrial resilience.

Lessons Learned From Ukraine


BMI ® maintains direct insight into the Ukrainian operational environment through participation in the Ukrainian defence innovation platform Brave1, and close cooperation with the State Border Guards of Ukraine and their network of 50+ partner companies.

This provides BMI® access to “near”combat and field test locations and evaluation facilities for industry partners, enabling objective validation of systems before procurement and large-scale deployment.

The threat is shared — Europe’s response must be unified.


Our vision: European defence acquisition and industrial scaling must align with operational realities.

Real innovation only succeeds when backed by cross-border industrial cooperation and disciplined coordination.

Proof of Concept Sells — Not Just Paper


What is better than a beautiful brochure, a detailed product data sheet, and a perfect test report under ideal laboratory conditions?

In today’s defense market, paper alone does not win contracts — performance does. A system only truly proves its value when it has been tested where it matters most. Not in theory. Not in simulation. But in real operational environments.

At Beyond Mission & Impossible Ltd., we work at the intersection of technology and reality. We know from experience what works in the field — and what fails under pressure. A product becomes credible when it is supported by genuine proof of concept, official codification, verified test reports, documented operational deployment, and authentic recommendation letters from active Ukrainian combat units and the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine.

Together with our trusted partners within the Ukrainian State Border Guards and their extended operational network, we offer complete A–Z support — from battlefield validation to legal structuring, manufacturing setup, and strategic market entry.
