Briefing
The AR3 Evo bundles more than 100 changes to a 25kg platform based directly on combat use in Ukraine, signalling incremental, field‑driven upgrades are accelerating capability cycles — and reducing time from lessons learned to product updates. See TEKEVER's acquisition of West Wales Airport for the test-hub context.
The emphasis on autonomy, survivability and payload flexibility mirrors broader trends in combat-proven UAV designs and rapid adaptation of software/hardware; compare recent deployments of AI-enabled micro-UAVs and operationalised systems in contested environments. See developments such as the Parrot Anafi UKR micro-UAV fleet.
Public demonstrations ahead of DSEI and similar shows indicate Tekever is positioning the AR3 Evo for export and partner procurement opportunities amid rising demand for tactical ISR and loitering platforms; this follows the industry push for next-gen uncrewed systems showcased at major events like the Paris Airshow's wingman drone briefings.
