About AM
AM is offered in five-, seven- and ten-inch configurations built around modular arms and a universal payload interface. The airframe can be repaired or reconfigured in the field, while analogue and digital video options allow teams to match the communications system to mission and electronic-warfare conditions.
PDW states payload capacity of up to five pounds and point-to-point operation out to ten kilometres, with longer relay-supported links available through its C100 system under selected configurations. The company moved AM into scaled production in 2026, establishing it as a manufactured tactical platform.
