BAE Systems has announced the acquisition of Malloy Aeronautics, a leading company in innovative heavy lift drone and aviation technologies. This acquisition will enable BAE Systems to expand its product portfolio and offer cutting-edge solutions that are essential for their customers.
Malloy Aeronautics specializes in the design and delivery of fully electric unmanned aerial systems (UAS) for both civilian and military clients. Their fleet of heavy lift quadcopter drones is capable of carrying payloads ranging from 68 kg to 300 kg on short and medium-range mission routes.
These platforms provide the ability to interchange functions and offer greater flexibility at a fraction of the cost and time compared to traditional methods, while also minimizing risks to more expensive assets and human life.
The Malloy team, consisting of approximately 80 people, will continue to operate from their headquarters in Berkshire and serve their existing clients. BAE Systems and Malloy will continue to collaborate to further develop Malloy’s existing portfolio and accelerate new and innovative technologies for customers worldwide.
Representatives from both companies believe that the synergy between them will pave the way for even greater achievements in the field of unmanned aerial systems and technologies.
Engineers from BAE Systems and Malloy Aeronautics are working on the development of a fully electric heavy lift drone weighing 300 kg, known as the T-650. This potential new solution aims to provide cost-effective and sustainable rapid response capabilities for military, security, and civilian customers.
Last year, the companies announced a successful demonstration of lifting and releasing a 200 kg nonmilitary training variant Sting Ray torpedo using a prototype T-600 drone during a large NATO exercise called REPMUS (Robotic Experimentation and Prototyping with Maritime Uncrewed Systems).
Malloy Aeronautics will become part of FalconWorks, a division within the BAE Systems aviation sector. This acquisition strengthens BAE Systems’ commitment to developing its product portfolio and offering next-generation solutions for existing and new customers.
