The partnership builds on Skyeton’s nearly two decades of engineering expertise in unmanned aviation and Harmattan AI’s proven approach to autonomous and scalable intelligent robotics systems. By combining Skyeton’s battle-proven Raybird platform, already operational with over 350,000 combat flight hours and widely adopted by Ukrainian defence forces, with Harmattan AI’s technology, industrialisation expertise and European assembly capacity, the two companies aim to deliver AI-powered capabilities across mission-critical operations.
“This collaboration demonstrates our commitment to working hand-in-hand with trusted allies to address today’s security challenges,” said Pavlo Shevchuk, International CEO of Skyeton. “By joining forces with Harmattan AI, we are reinforcing Europe’s defense capabilities and accelerating the Raybird’s adoption in key NATO markets such as France.”
“This partnership reflects our mission to equip our allies with scalable and autonomous capabilities,” said Mouad M’Ghari, CEO & Co-Founder at Harmattan AI. “By combining Harmattan AI’s unique portfolio of sensors with Skyeton’s battle-proven Raybird UAS, we are giving armed forces the ability to deploy intelligence where and when it matters most. Together we are reinforcing the strength of NATO forces and contributing to the security of Europe.”
With its long-endurance performance and proven versatility, the Raybird UAS has earned recognition for applications ranging from deep reconnaissance missions to border monitoring and disaster response. The integration of Harmattan AI’s technology will further enhance the platform’s adaptability and mission-readiness, offering governments and allied forces a reliable, scalable solution for modern defence challenges.
This strategic step also highlights a shared commitment to strengthening defence cooperation in Europe. With France as a critical NATO ally, Skyeton and Harmattan AI aim to support collective security efforts and foster innovation in unmanned systems deployment.
