Primoco UAV SE, Czech UAV manufacturer, today announced the signature of a new contract for the delivery of 8 One 150 Unmanned Aerial Vehicles. The value of these transactions is EUR 6.8 million. The announcement of the sale of 8 UAVs comes after Primoco UAV SE signed a contract to deliver two One 150 UAVs worth EUR 1.7 million to a European customer in October 2022. This year, the Czech manufacturer has seen increased interest in UAVs, especially from the military sector. In the first half of 2022, the company delivered a total of 7 UAVs and achieved record sales of CZK 102.8 million.

“The contract for eight aircraft for a total of EUR 6.8 million plus option for a delivery of further sixteen aircraft has been signed with a non-European customer. The delivery includes UAVs, sensors, control stations and training,” said Ladislav Semetkovský, CEO of the company. The actual delivery will take place in the first half of 2023 and is subject to the approval of the Licensing Administration of the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Czech Republic.
