DeltaQuad has signed a Letter of Intent (LOI) with the Dutch Ministry of Defence on 6th October 2025 for the development and production of its Vertical Take Off and Landing VTOL Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs).
The agreement was signed at VDL Groep’s production site in Born, where the Ministry also announced its long-term strategic partnership with VDL Groep and separate agreements with Milrem Robotics and Tulip Tech for other defense equipment.
The LOI signifies the Ministry’s request for DeltaQuad to scale up its production of Evo VTOL UAVs. It is the first step toward securing the production capacity needed to meet growing demand and to contribute to European sovereign defense capabilities.
Building on the existing partnership with VDL, the agreement demonstrates that DeltaQuad can extend its production line to VDL’s facility, gaining the mass and scalability required for large-scale manufacturing.
Beyond production, the cooperation also encompasses future innovation and operational collaboration. VDL’s flexibility and expertise will strengthen DeltaQuad’s capacity for rapid innovation while expanding its production capabilities.
The LOI represents more than just a step toward production; it marks the beginning of a long-term partnership, focused on building a strong Dutch defense ecosystem. By working closely, the Dutch Ministry of Defence, VDL Groep, and DeltaQuad can respond more rapidly to growing national and international demand and further strengthen the Netherlands and Europe’s position in defense innovation.
