Steadicopter has signed a services agreement with U.S.-based flyAlchemy aimed at supporting the operational deployment and evaluation of its rotary unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) platforms in the United States.
Under the agreement, Steadicopter will supply its Black Eagle 50E rotary UAV systems for demonstrations, customer evaluation programs and mission development activities targeting intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) and specialised operational missions.
The collaboration will include flight demonstrations, regulatory coordination and preparations for future operational deployment among U.S. government and commercial users.
Steadicopter Chief Executive Officer Noam Lidor said the agreement strengthens the company’s presence in the U.S. market and aligns its technology with operational requirements.
“Signing this agreement strengthens our operational footprint in the U.S. market and enables us to align our rotary UAV capabilities with real mission requirements,” Lidor said.
“The Black Eagle 50E platform provides a flexible and modular ISR solution for a wide range of operational scenarios, and this collaboration creates a strong foundation for expanding our presence in the United States.”
Initial activities will focus on demonstration flights, payload integration and regulatory alignment, supporting potential applications including ISR missions, disaster management, infrastructure monitoring and other specialised operational uses.
The partnership will also support certification pathways and training programs conducted at flyAlchemy’s U.S. flight test locations.
Steadicopter said the collaboration combines its rotary UAV technology with flyAlchemy’s operational expertise in government missions, remote sensing and aerial data services. Both companies intend to work closely on expanding the operational role of rotary UAV platforms in the U.S. market while supporting mission-driven deployment and evaluation programs.
