Pre-orders opened for the 2025 Evolution Eagle
Pre-orders for our new 2025 Evolution Eagle UAS model will
open on March 10th 🙌
With the help of our team and partners, we’ve incorporated valuable feedback to
enhance the Evolution Eagle even further.
We are making significant adjustments to our production methods, allowing us to
scale up to large-scale serial production in the Netherlands.
Additionally, these changes are unlocking new possibilities, as we are no
longer restricted by certain shapes and materials.
Our new 2025 Evolution Eagle model will feature:
✅
A lighter design, resulting in extended flight times
✅
Increased speed
✅
Enhanced maneuverability
✅
Greater realism
✅
Expanded ISR payload capacity
Our Evolution Eagle is a groundbreaking UAS platform, uniquely designed for
covert and stealthy surveillance. Its bird-like silhouette is an ingenious
feature that blends seamlessly into natural environments, offering unparalleled
discretion compared to conventional fixed-wing drones. 🦅
What truly sets the Evolution Eagle apart is its ability to exploit thermals,
enabling it to glide effortlessly through the skies while conserving energy.
With the option to shut down its engines mid-flight, it not only extends its
operational duration but also minimizes noise, ensuring maximum stealth🥷
and efficiency.⚙️

Europen Defense Fund call 2025 - The Netherlands
Reflecting on a Successful EDF Europe Day in The Netherlands!
What an incredible experience attending the EDF Europe Day yesterday. The event offered a deep dive into the upcoming European Defense Fund calls, providing valuable insights for innovation and collaboration across Europe.
Beyond the informative sessions, the event proved to be an exceptional platform for building connections and fostering partnerships. I had the chance to explore collaborative opportunities on EDF calls, network with talented professionals, and exchange knowledge and ideas that will surely drive progress.
A personal highlight was connecting some of my own contacts and part suppliers with other participants, while also gaining valuable new connections. These fresh partnerships hold exciting potential, especially for the serial production of our Evolution Eagle UAS.
A huge thank you to RVO, the EDF, and the Dutch Ministry of Defense for organizing such a meaningful and impactful event. It’s events like these that pave the way for innovation and a stronger, unified Europe.

Uncrewed Systems Meetup attendance
On 28 January 2025, the Uncrewed Ecosystem Meetup brought together industry leaders, government officials, and investors for a powerful and inspiring event at Military Base Soesterberg.
Guided by the recently launched Action Plan for Production Security of Uncrewed Systems (APOS), the meetup aimed to position the Netherlands as an international leader through collaboration, innovation, and a scalable ecosystem. The event tackled the critical question: How do we build a strong ecosystem for uncrewed systems in the Netherlands while strengthening international collaboration?
The lineup of distinguished speakers included Ruben Brekelmans (Minister of Defence of the Netherlands), Simon Wouda (Head of Taskforce Ukraine), and Raymond Knops (NIDV – Nederlandse Industrie voor Defensie en Veiligheid), who delivered insightful keynotes and participated in panel discussions. Alongside representatives from venture capital and industry, they explored practical steps to unite stakeholders and drive innovation in the uncrewed systems space.
Beyond the formal sessions, the meetup provided a fantastic opportunity for attendees to network, exchange ideas, and uncover new possibilities in a relaxed, collaborative setting. With its inspiring theme and impactful discussions, the Uncrewed Ecosystem Meetup proved to be a resounding success and a major step toward building a safer, stronger, and more connected Europe.
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who participated in making this event extraordinary! 2025
