Alpha Unmanned Systems and HAVELSAN have formed a strategic partnership to introduce and support HAVELSAN’s advanced unmanned aerial platforms in the Spanish market, addressing evolving national security and government operational requirements.
This strategic partnership brings together Alpha Unmanned Systems’ expertise in the Spanish Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) sector and HAVELSAN’s advanced platforms to expand the capability and reach of unmanned solutions across the country. Under the agreement, Alpha Unmanned Systems will act as Havelsan’s distribution and support partner in Spain, delivering customized solutions and sustained lifecycle support for national security and government clients.
The two companies will work together to identify and pursue opportunities across UAV platforms, autonomy, mission planning, command-and-control systems, simulation and training, and comprehensive lifecycle support services. The partnership is structured to help customers field interoperable, multi-platform UAV capabilities, backed by in-country expertise and global systems integration experience.
Positioning Alpha as a European UAV Center of Excellence
In response to evolving requirements from Spanish security forces, Alpha Unmanned Systems will serve as a principal integration, support, and customer-facing partner across Spain and wider Europe. The company will deliver in-country expertise, training, maintenance, and operational support for HAVELSAN’s UAV platforms and technologies.
Reciprocally, HAVELSAN may introduce Alpha’s fuel-powered tactical helicopter UAVs to its international customer base, enabling complementary mission capabilities across multiple regions.
Alpha Unmanned Systems brings more than a decade of experience in the development and operational deployment of small tactical helicopter UAVs for maritime surveillance, border security, persistent ISR, manned–unmanned teaming, and defence training missions. Its platforms are engineered for demanding operational environments where endurance, reliability, and interoperability are mission-critical.
Eric Freeman, CEO of Alpha Unmanned Systems, commented, “This collaboration reflects Alpha’s role as Spain’s leading UAV specialist and a trusted partner for global unmanned systems companies seeking close engagement with European customers. By combining our rotary-wing UAV expertise with HAVELSAN’s unmanned platforms, advanced software, command-and-control, and simulation capabilities, we can offer customers integrated solutions supported locally throughout the full system lifecycle.”
