BAE Systems FalconWorks® has signed a framework agreement with SURVICE Engineering to collaborate on the development of Uncrewed Air System (UAS) technologies.
This partnership expands upon a relationship established in 2015 with Malloy Aeronautics, which BAE Systems acquired in 2024. Malloy Aeronautics provides the T-150 uncrewed all-electric logistics platform to SURVICE Engineering, a firm that supports the US Armed Forces, including the US Marine Corps, with specialist combat equipment and uncrewed logistics systems.
The move comes as UAS platforms become increasingly critical to defense and security operations. These systems are being utilized for diverse roles ranging from low-cost logistics to complex uncrewed platforms capable of operating alongside crewed combat aircraft.
Anthony Gregory, Business Development Director, BAE Systems FalconWorks, commented, “The agreement comes at a time when UAS are increasingly important to defence and security, conducting a variety of roles from low-cost logistics to more complex and capable uncrewed systems that can operate alongside crewed combat aircraft. We look forward to working together with SURVICE Engineering to develop this capability for today’s rapidly evolving battlespace.”
Under the new agreement, the two organizations will explore collaboration opportunities across a broader portfolio of small and tactical UAS products.
Greg Thompson, President, SURVICE Engineering, added, “Partnering with Malloy, our successes include fielding the TRV-150 to the USMC and US Army and demonstrating use cases beyond logistics, including mine clearing, obscurant deployment, and weaponisation. The agreement with FalconWorks is a logical next step to continue advancing UAS technologies and use cases and we are excited to expand our relationship across the BAE FalconWorks portfolio and look forward to many more successes.”
The collaboration is a component of a broader BAE Systems strategy designed to accelerate the development of UAS to meet both national and international defense and security requirements.
