French drone manufacturer Delair acquired Grenoble-based Squadrone System on 29 October 2024, adding capabilities across drone swarming, counter-UAS and industrial inspection.
Squadrone System had 22 employees and developed multirotor UAV technology for complex civil and defence applications. Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
The company’s work included the TAMOS tactical drone-swarming programme and RapidEagle counter-drone project, alongside commercial applications including warehouse inventory, radio-spectrum monitoring and aircraft inspection on the ground.
For Delair, the acquisition expanded its existing fixed-wing and dual-use UAV portfolio with additional multirotor expertise and software capabilities.
Delair said the deal supported its broader civil-and-defence strategy, bringing Squadrone’s work across autonomous coordination, counter-drone systems and industrial inspection into the group.
