Berlin, Germany (SPX) Jan 21, 2025
Armadrone, a prominent developer of strike drones, has announced a strategic partnership with MDSI, an innovator in modular payload technologies. This collaboration combines Armadrone's advanced drone engineering with MDSI's cutting-edge payload carrier systems to deliver cost-effective and highly adaptable solutions for allied defense forces.

Central to this alliance is the integration of MDSI's MAILMAN payload carrier into Armadrone's combat drone platforms. MAILMAN, a precision-guided payload system, will enhance the operational capabilities of UAVs such as Armadrone's PUNISHER and REX models. These systems will provide tactical payload delivery over distances of up to 60 kilometers, even in challenging electronic warfare (EW) conditions.

The collaboration aims to address the growing demand for advanced defense tools to counter modern threats. By leveraging their combined expertise, Armadrone and MDSI plan to offer scalable and dependable technologies that improve mission effectiveness while reducing risks to military personnel.

"Armadrone's mission has always been to create innovative and practical solutions for the modern battlefield," said Max Subotin, Chief Business Development Officer of Armadrone. "By teaming up with MDSI and maintaining close daily communication with troops on the front lines, we are taking a step forward in redefining what is possible with smaller armed drones. Our daily processes have a deeply personal dimension, as we remain close to our friends who are currently in combat."

Christian Steino, CEO of MDSI, highlighted the synergy between the two companies. "Integrating MAILMAN with Armadrone's UAS platforms is the initial result of a long-term relationship with Ukrainian partners," he said. "MAILMAN is designed to deliver affordable and adaptable solutions, complementing the engineering capabilities of Armadrone. Together, we are setting a new benchmark for mission readiness, versatility, and scalability."

This partnership underscores the commitment of both companies to equipping allied forces with innovative tools that enhance operational capabilities in diverse environments.
