Orbital engine destined for military UAV

Drone engine manufacturer Orbital Corporation (Orbital UAV) has established a collaborative agreement with Dynamatic Technology to integrate an Orbital 150cc Heavy Fuel Engine (HFE) into a Dynamatic designed UAV for potential supply to defence forces.

Dynamatic Technology is an Indian based manufacturer of highly engineered, mission critical products for the Aerospace, Automotive and Hydraulic industries.

The companies inked a Memorandum of Understanding which led to the formalisation of an initial order for test engines by November 2024. The project value is $200,000.

The MoU is seen as a critical first step toward a long-term partnership in a developing region of the world.

Orbital UAV produces heavy fuel engines and is a proven military systems supplier.

The Mou will see the parties collaborate and define integration effectiveness for scope definition into a potential contract.

It will frame out technical requirements, maintenance plans and inservice support terms.

Each Party will bear its own costs under the MoU and retain ownership of its own IP.
