Performance Drone Works (PDW) and Revenant Technologies have signed a memorandum of understanding to assess Ukrainian defense technologies for potential integration and production in the US.
The companies will initially consider unmanned systems, counter-drone technologies, electronic warfare equipment, sensors, and critical components.
Under the agreement, Revenant will identify and assess potential technologies, coordinate with Ukrainian partners, and engage US military customers.
PDW will handle engineering, adaptation to US requirements, supply chain localization, product integration, and testing.
The aim is to determine which technologies developed and used during the war in Ukraine could meet US operational needs and be manufactured and supported domestically.
Opportunities could involve either complete systems or individual components, with further work depending on customer demand and technical readiness.
US Manufacturing and Training
Selected Ukrainian technologies could move into US production at PDW’s Drone Factory 01, a 90,000-square-foot (8,360-square-meter) facility in Huntsville, Alabama.
PDW CEO James Slider said Revenant’s ties with Ukrainian developers would help identify technologies suited to US military needs.
PDW would then provide the engineering and manufacturing capacity to adapt those systems and components for US forces, including the support needed to keep them operational.
Revenant also expects the collaboration to support ARENA, its force-on-force training environment.
In ARENA, US personnel train against an opposing force using uncrewed systems and tactics informed by combat experience.
