PDW, today announced it was selected to provide its flagship C100 Group 2 sUAS in support of the U.S. Army Directed Requirement for Company-Level sUAS. The C100 will be fielded to unit elements across the Army to enhance fire and maneuver in near-peer and contested operating environments.

PDW's C100 supports the U.S. Army's medium-range reconnaissance (MRR) requirement for a modular, Soldier-portable VTOL sUAS capable of providing effects across reconnaissance, surveillance, target acquisition, communications relay, and kinetic and non-kinetic payload delivery. The C100 enables dismounted, mounted, or airborne maneuver units with extended endurance and payload capacity in a ruggedized and highly deployable form factor.

Weighing just 21 pounds and small enough to fit in a rucksack, the C100 quadcopter empowers units to organically deploy air support, conduct precision strikes, and gather intelligence—all without the need for manned aircraft or external fire support.

PDW is at the cutting edge of defense innovation. From tactical, jam-resistant radio platforms developed in collaboration with SOCOM to simulation software that enhances operator skills and operational planning, and truly consumable NDAA-compliant FPV combat systems, PDW is driving the future of small robotic technologies.
