Malloy Aeronautics designs and supplies all-electric uncrewed aerial systems (UAS) to both private companies and governmental organizations such as the Armed Forces.
Their range of uncrewed, heavy-lift quadcopters are capable of lifting payloads from 68kg to 300kg over short- to medium-range missions.
These platforms offer interchangeable capabilities and greater flexibility at a fraction of the cost and time of more traditional methods, whilst minimising risk to more expensive assets and human life.

Malloy’s approximately 80 strong workforce will continue to operate from its site in Berkshire, supporting its existing customers. BAE Systems and Malloy, who have been working together in advancing cutting-edge Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) solutions since 2021, will further develop Malloy’s existing portfolio and accelerate novel technologies to customers worldwide.
The acquisition of Malloy Aeronautics is part of BAE Systems’ ongoing strategy to develop and invest in breakthrough technologies, which augment its existing capabilities and provide its customers with the innovation they need in response to evolving requirements.
According to a relevant announcement, BAE Systems’ and Malloy Aeronautics’ engineers have been collaborating to develop the 300kg T-650 all-electric ‘heavy lift’ UAS as a potential new solution to deliver cost-effective, sustainable rapid response capability to military and civilian customers.
Last year, the companies announced the successful demonstration of T-600 electric uncrewed demonstrator aircraft achieving a significant milestone at NATO exercise REPMUS (Robotic Experimentation and Prototyping with Maritime Uncrewed Systems).
Malloy Aeronautics will be part of FalconWorks, the research and development business within BAE Systems’ Air sector.
