As part of the “Swiss Mini UAV Program” (Swiss MUAS) call for tender against major civilian UAS players, Parrot has been selected to provide the Swiss Armed Forces with micro-drones. 

A number of factors played into Parrot’s selection, including the company’s knowledge in professional UAS, the performance of its technologies dedicated to Defense and Security, and Parrot's ability to meet the high level of cyber security that the Swiss armed forces required.

Launched at the beginning of 2019 by armasuisse, the federal procurement agency responsible for the Swiss Armed Forces, the call for tender is designed to get the troops the right cost-effective training aids that they need to become familiar with mini-UAS operations.

Easily deployable, Parrot’s UAS can greatly enhance the safety of people and military personnel, as well as knowledge of the terrain.

This structuring project is considered a new step forward for the Parrot Group in the field of security and defense; an area that Parrot has been working on since 2018. For this project, Parrot will work with its subsidiary senseFly, which will be in charge of operational support in Switzerland.
