The partnership leverages Skyeton’s nearly 20 years of engineering experience and the Raybird platform, which has accumulated over 350,000 combat flight hours with Ukrainian forces. It combines this proven hardware with Harmattan AI’s expertise in autonomous, intelligent robotics systems and European assembly capacity. The primary goal is to accelerate the adoption of the enhanced, AI-powered Raybird UAS in key global and NATO markets, with a specific focus on France.
Executives from both companies emphasized that the union of a battle-tested platform with next-generation sensors will provide allied armed forces with superior, scalable intelligence and reconnaissance capabilities. The enhanced Raybird system, known for its long-endurance and versatility in missions from deep reconnaissance to border monitoring, will offer a more reliable and adaptable solution for modern defense and security challenges. This initiative also underscores a shared commitment to strengthening European defense cooperation, fostering innovation in unmanned systems, and reinforcing the collective security of NATO forces.
