Malloy Aeronautics designs and supplies all-electric uncrewed
aerial systems (UAS) to both civil and military customers. Its
range of uncrewed, heavy lift quadcopters are capable of lifting
payloads from 68kg to 300kg over short to medium range
missions.
These platforms offer interchangeable capabilities and greater
flexibility at a fraction of the cost and time of more traditional
methods, whilst minimising risk to more expensive assets and human
life.
Malloy’s approximately 80 strong workforce will continue to
operate from its site in Berkshire, supporting its existing
customers. BAE Systems and Malloy, who have been working together
in advancing cutting-edge UAS solutions since 2021, will further
develop Malloy’s existing portfolio and accelerate new and novel
technologies to customers worldwide.
Simon Barnes, Group Managing Director of BAE Systems’ Air
sector, said: “Our acquisition of Malloy Aeronautics is part of our
ongoing strategy to develop and invest in breakthrough technologies
which augment our existing capabilities and provide our customers
with the innovation they need in response to evolving requirements.
We’re confident that the synergy between our two companies will
pave the way for even greater achievements in uncrewed aerial
systems and technologies.”
Oriol Badia, Chief Operating Officer of Malloy Aeronautics,
said: “We’ve come a long way over the last ten years, turning our
vision of sustainable electric heavy lift technology into reality,
thanks to the dedication and efforts of our team. This new step in
our journey with BAE Systems will allow us to combine the strengths
and vision of a young company with the reach and support of an
experienced one, ultimately giving our customers the ability to
scale their demands and allow us to deliver innovative new products
– including the T-650 – at pace.”
BAE Systems and Malloy Aeronautics engineers have been
developing the 300kg T-650 all-electric ‘heavy lift’ UAS as a
potential new solution to deliver cost-effective, sustainable rapid
response capability to military, security and civilian
customers.
Last year, the companies announced the successful demonstration
of the carriage and release of a 200kg inert Sting Ray Training
Variant Torpedo using the T-600 demonstrator aircraft during a
large NATO exercise, known as REPMUS (Robotic Experimentation and
Prototyping with Maritime Uncrewed Systems).
Malloy Aeronautics will be part of FalconWorks, the research and
development business within BAE Systems’ Air sector. Dave Holmes,
Managing Director of FalconWorks, said: “Malloy’s expertise and
innovation in quadcopters and sustainable air vehicles is an
exciting addition to our FalconWorks® family. This acquisition
supports our commitment to increase our portfolio of products,
offering new and existing customers the cutting-edge solutions they
need.”
