 SYPAQ Systems and Tanglewood Group announced their formation of a strategic partnership supporting global sales of the SYPAQ Corvo Precision Payload Delivery System (PPDS) UAS. Following the delivery of more than 500 PPDS autonomous systems to the Ukraine Defence force, the two companies have partnered to support additional sales, support and distribution across Europe and the Middle East.

SYPAQ’s Corvo PPDS UAS is an advanced and affordable fixed-wing autonomous system capable of covertly and reliably delivering payloads with great accuracy. The solutions are delivered as flat pack kits made primarily from waxed foamboard, rendering them easy to assemble and operate. With a payload capacity of up to 3kg and a range of over 100km, the Corvo PPDS can autonomously maneuver to a specific location and land unassisted. The adaptable autonomous UAS grants the end user the ability to innovate during operations.

“We are very pleased to have Richard and the team at Tanglewood collaborate with us to expand sales of our successful Corvo PPDS autonomous system through Defence and Commercial markets in Europe and the Middle East,” said SYPAQ Systems General Manager Michael Partridge. “Having Tanglewood in closer proximity to these markets will provide more timely and effective support to customers who are looking for world-leading attritable, military-grade autonomous capabilities. We’ve proven this with our Corvo PPDS performance in Ukraine and look to expand this in markets across the globe.”

“We are excited to be working with the Team at SYPAQ and being able to use Tanglewood’s extensive market reach in Europe and the Middle East, together with experience in autonomous systems and sensors, to support the expansion of Corvo PPDS operations,” said Tanglewood Co-Founder and Director Richard Glyn-Jones. “We see the PPDS as key to future military operations as well as being used for Search & Rescue, Law enforcement and humanitarian aid delivery amongst others and the partnership with SYPAQ allows us to develop future technology integrations to expand the use cases. We are looking forward to introducing the PPDS and working closely with the SYPAQ team.”
