DELAIR acquires SQUADRONE SYSTEM

DELAIR announces the acquisition of Grenoble-based drone manufacturer SQUADRONE SYSTEM, a specialist in drone swarms and industrial inspection. The Toulouse drone manufacturer confirms its dual development strategy (civil & defense) and accelerates the deployment of its technological roadmap.

DELAIR announces the acquisition of SQUADRONE SYSTEM. Founded in 2014 in Grenoble, the company, with a workforce of 22 and estimated turnover of €2M in 2024, specializes in the design of multi-copter drones for complex use cases.

• UAV swarming: through the TAMOS (Tactical Multi-Objectives Swarming UAVs) project of the Agence Innovation Défense (AID – Defense Innovation Agency) and the Direction Générale de l’Armement (DGA – French Armament General Directorate).
• Anti-drone combat: RapidEagle project
• Automated industrial inspections: in the civil sector, with UAVs for warehouse inventories, radio spectrum monitoring or aircraft inspection on the ground.

“The acquisition of SQUADRONE SYSTEM is perfectly aligned with our technological roadmap, which is built around 5 major technological building blocks (energy, image processing, electronic warfare, swarms and certification). The synergies generated will enable us to gain precious time in an increasingly intense European and global competitive field. The acquisition of SQUADRONE SYSTEM enables us not only to acquire directly the technological backbone of drone swarms, but also to develop our civil industrial inspection activity” explains Bastien MANCINI, CEO of DELAIR.
