The Dutch government has partnered with Duivendrecht-based DeltaQuad to supply intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance drones for Ukraine in its defense against Russia’s aggression.

The initiative will equip warfighters with unarmed autonomous aerial systems to support effective monitoring and data collection across battlefields.

Drones to be distributed under this project will incorporate “modern” capabilities to deter enemy jamming attacks, ensure covert deployments, and maintain operations when signals from command and control are temporarily disconnected.

The acquisition with DeltaQuad costs 42.6 million euros ($46 million) and will be the “first concrete” execution to be administered under the “Drone Action Plan” for the Dutch and Ukrainian Armed Forces.

Announced in early October, the broader program will utilize approximately 400 million euros ($432.5 million) to jointly produce unmanned systems in both countries, modernizing their military assets while spurring economic growth in each nation.

“Ukraine needs advanced drones that can be delivered in the short term,” Netherlands Defence Minister Ruben Brekelmans stated. “It is good that the Dutch industry can contribute to this.”

“This order with this Dutch company will also contribute to the further development of an ecosystem for Dutch drones.”

DeltaQuad CEO Sander Smeets highlighted that the company’s drones are “built and tested to continue to perform well in difficult and changing conditions.”

“This is an important step in the development of the drone ecosystem, where international innovation and rapid cooperation between military, policy makers and the national industry are super important.”

“DeltaQuad is working hard to deliver the drones, together with our Dutch and Ukrainian partners.”

DeltaQuad is known for its proven Evo vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) drone, which can cover an area up to 246 kilometers (153 miles), carry about 3 kilograms (6.6 pounds) of payload, and fly up to four hours.

This system employs an 80-kilometer (50-mile) automatic tracker and a 40-kilometer (25-mile) sector antenna for extended-range missions. It also offers 4K recording, thermal, and high-zoom functions.

Evo can tolerate winds of 27 knots (50 kilometers/31 miles per hour) and temperatures between negative 20 and 45 degrees Celsius.
