Parrot has won a multi-year contract to supply its ANAFI UKR micro‑UAS to a European Defence Force after a three-year competitive procurement aimed at upgrading unit-level reconnaissance and situational awareness. The ANAFI UKR, branded by Parrot as a next-generation micro‑UAS, is intended for frontline reconnaissance tasks — providing short-range ISR, rapid observation and enhanced information flow to brigade and battalion formations.
The award represents a commercial and strategic win for Parrot’s defence arm, offering sustained production and support work and validating its product approach in a competitive European market. For the purchaser, the procurement underscores priorities common across NATO and EU militaries: deployable, interoperable systems that can be integrated into existing command-and-control and battlefield-management architectures.
Although the buyer remains unnamed in public reporting, the contract fits a broader European pattern of investment in tactical drones driven by lessons from recent conflicts and an increased emphasis on distributed ISR capabilities at lower echelons. The deal may also have industrial implications by reinforcing supply-chain roles for European manufacturers and shaping future collaborative procurements aimed at standardisation.
