Local firm SYPAQ Systems has partnered with the UK’s Tanglewood Group to expand international sales of their SYPAQ Corvo precision payload delivery UAS.

Local firm SYPAQ Systems has partnered with the UK’s Tanglewood Group to expand international sales of their SYPAQ Corvo precision payload delivery UAS.

The announcement came as the company delivered 500 of their systems to the Armed Forces of Ukraine, with SYPAQ hoping the new strategic partnership to broaden sales across Europe and the Middle East.

The uncrewed aerial system has been billed as a covert aerial capability able to accurately deliver payloads.

 
 

The waxed foamboard Corvo is delivered to users in a flat pack to reduce logistical burdens and can travel over 100 kilometres.

“We are very pleased to have Richard and the team at Tanglewood collaborate with us to expand sales of our successful Corvo PPDS autonomous system through defence and commercial markets in Europe and the Middle East,” Michael Partridge, general manager at SYPAQ Systems, said.

“Having Tanglewood in closer proximity to these markets will provide more timely and effective support to customers who are looking for world-leading attritable, military-grade autonomous capabilities.

“We’ve proven this with our Corvo PPDS performance in Ukraine and look to expand this in markets across the globe.”

The uncrewed aerial system is not just limited to combat needs, according to Tanglewood co-founder and director Richard Glyn-Jones, and can be deployed across a range of humanitarian efforts.

“We are excited to be working with the Team at SYPAQ and being able to use Tanglewood’s extensive market reach in Europe and the Middle East, together with experience in autonomous systems and sensors, to support the expansion of Corvo PPDS operations,” Glyn-Jones said.

“We see the PPDS as key to future military operations as well as being used for search and rescue, law enforcement and humanitarian aid delivery amongst others and the partnership with SYPAQ allows us to develop future technology integrations to expand the use cases. We are looking forward to introducing the PPDS and working closely with the SYPAQ team.”
