About Bird of Prey

Bird of Prey combines Duke Robotics’ stabilisation technology with an uncrewed aircraft and lightweight firearm. The stabilised mount compensates for aircraft motion and recoil so a remote operator can aim and discharge the carried weapon while remaining outside the immediate operating area.

The system is derived from the company’s TIKAD work and is intended for defence users requiring remote aerial engagement beyond reconnaissance missions. Duke Robotics is developing Bird of Prey alongside the IC Drone and AEROTRACE product families and has announced collaboration with Elbit Systems around the programme.
