Orbital Corporation Ltd (Orbital UAV) has announced a series of developments that further expand its global footprint across tactical and heavy-lift unmanned aerial systems. The company has secured an initial order from Freespace Operations, a sovereign Australian OEM of heavy-lift multirotor drone systems, for a 150HFE® heavy fuel engine. This engine will be integrated as a hybrid range extender into the Callisto 50 Heavy Lift Drone, with application across the Callisto 50 and 75 platforms. Orbital UAV has also received an order from Textron Systems for 10 FlexDT® units to support Aerosonde® 4.7 Group 3 tactical UAV platforms deployed with US and international military customers. Additionally, the company has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Bertel O. Steen Defence & Security AS in relation to the anticipated NATO Support and Procurement Agency (NSPA) tender for the Textron Systems HQ 4.8 Tactical Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (TUAS) program. Under the MOU, the parties intend to collaborate on an integrated propulsion system supply and sustainment solution. These initiatives demonstrate Orbital UAV's approach to building long-term program participation through initial propulsion supply, followed by expansion into diagnostics, maintenance, and regional sustainment support.
