The Australian Army has partnered with the Defence Innovation Hub in awarding an Army Innovation Day contract to SYPAQ to develop and demonstrate a next generation battlefield logistics small unmanned aerial system (UAS), called the Precision Payload Delivery System (PPDS), for use by Australian soldiers.

Minister for Defence Industry, Senator the Hon Linda Reynolds, thanked SYPAQ for stepping up to answer the challenges of Accelerated Warfare presented by Army.

“Defence units have an enduring need to be able to resupply their combat forces in the most hazardous environments,” Minister Reynolds said.

SYPAQ will continue the development of its Corvo X platform for Army under a new contract announced today by Major General Kathryn Toohey, Head Land Capability for Army.

SYPAQ was one of three industry and research organisations to be awarded a concept exploration contract through a Defence Innovation Hub Special Notice in April 2018, in response to Army’s requirements for its future man-portable Small Unmanned Aerial System (SUAS) capability. After successfully proving the concept behind the Corvo X, the platform has now been selected by Army for further development and capability demonstration in the first half of 2019.
