Partnerships have already been established in North America, Europe, the Middle East and the Indo-Pacific, with further agreements under development. Together, these facilities are intended to create a distributed and resilient production network to meet growing global demand for defence-grade unmanned aerial systems while supporting re-industrialisation and skilled manufacturing jobs in local markets.
“We are a rapidly growing business with the capacity to produce 280,000 drones at our headquarters alone,” said Srdjan Kovacevic, CEO of Orqa. “The agreements we’ve already secured put us on track to achieve our target capacity of one million drones per year, a significant milestone at a time when global security challenges are evolving rapidly.”
Under the programme, Orqa combines its engineering expertise with localised manufacturing to ensure consistent quality while reducing lead times, logistics complexity and regulatory barriers. The company designs and manufactures FPV and unmanned aerial systems in Croatia and reported the delivery of 100,000 products in 2024 to customers in more than 50 countries.
