NOV 2026 - New Design Office opened

New Design Office opened. To support the current forward order book we have increased the clean room office accommodation for the design team. Unit 4C space at Aberporth Technology Park has been leased to provide the design team with access to space large enough to examine our assembled aircraft whilst we design forward enhancements across the Dragon Series D15 – D25 – D50 and D50+. This modern office accommodation forms a part of the technology park adjacent to the West Wales Airport facility available to us for client field crew training and capability flight demonstrations.

SEPT 2026 - New Dragon D50 aircraft sale

Sweden – SNARL

Prion Mk3 D50 Aircraft Sale

UAVE Limited is pleased to confirm the sale of our D50 variant of the Prion Mk3 Dragon Series aircraft (.PDF Link) to a government funded client in Sweden – Lund University, Department of Aviation and Aeronautical Sciences. The D50 is our unique twin nacelle twin engine aircraft with exceptional payload configuration solutions to deliver upon the varied use case missions intended for the equipment.

The Prion Mk3 D50 unmanned aircraft is to be deployed as part of SNARL, the Swedish National Airborne Research Laboratory, to support research excellence in three principal use cases:

Atmospheric Sampling for Meteorology and Pollution Monitoring
Earth Sciences and Technical Geology
Archaeological Surveying

The D50 is our largest single wingspan aircraft at 5.6m and has a MTOW of 100Kg.

Rikard Tyllström, Director of the Lund University UAS Lab, commented: "The D50 will strengthen Lund University's capacity for multidisciplinary research. Its capabilities will support the integration of multiple onboard sensors and edge-computing systems, enabling innovative research and experimentation in national airspace systems under demanding operational and weather conditions, including those commonly encountered in maritime and Arctic environments."

Phillip Slater, MD at UAVE Limited commented: "We are looking forward to returning to Scandinavia with the Prion Mk3 ahead of which we will deliver client training here in the UK during 2027. As per prior aeromagnetic surveys conducted in 2011, no doubt there will be a return to the Arctic Circle for our aircraft once the client is operating the equipment."

UAVE Limited is a UK sovereign owned company with 100% of the Prion Mk3 Dragon Series being manufactured in the UK
