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.
Who We Are
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.
Background
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
