Tekever AR5 NATO Maritime Patrol

The European Maritime Safety Agency (EMSA) has awarded Tekever a €30 million framework agreement to procure two complete AR5 fixed-wing UAS systems, each comprising two aircraft, for maritime surveillance operations across European waters. The AR5 UAS, operational since 2017, supports missions including situational awareness, fisheries control, law enforcement, environmental protection, and sea rescue with up to 12 hours endurance and modular payloads like EO/IR cameras and maritime radar. This contract, initial two years extendable to four, expands parallel deployments to strengthen monitoring capacity, building on prior EMSA engagements with Tekever's proven technology.
