2016-2026

The years below are the ones printed on the 2026 timeline slide: 2016, 2017, 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2026.

2016

International team of engineers and defense contractors. Office in a technology hub with access to Asian flight controllers and European optics and fiber. Product brief set from day one: an export FPV strike platform, not a single-customer national program.

2017

First autonomous flight of the quadcopter FPV prototype. Jam-resistant communications module and a standardized warhead interface. A customer can integrate its own payload.

2021

Export launch of TD-1 Wasp. Range 10 km. Attack endurance above 20 minutes. Speed 160 km/h. Real-time VR guidance.

2022

Feedback from several theaters at once: climate, electronic warfare, and tactics. Month-end run rate above 500 units. Headcount about 200. First overseas office for support and operator training.

2023

Head plant of 12,000+ m² plus partner lines. Four modules: airframe, flight controller, video, warhead. 200 units per line per day, 30,000+ per year, before overseas assembly.

2026

10+ customer countries, 1,500+ staff, revenue outlook above $300 million, volume outlook above 40,000. Package: platform, training, support, localization, technology transfer.

What a partner receives

By 2026 the holding serves sovereign customers across the Middle East, North Africa, Southeast Asia, Eastern Europe, and Latin America. Continuous modernization uses feedback from several theaters at once and shortens NWF10 changes from months to weeks.

Platform

NWF10 radio and NWF10f fiber aircraft, ground station, and payload interface.

Training

Operator instruction and a network of technical representatives in customer countries.

Support

Field support, a maintenance kit in the ground station, and an overseas office model.

Localization

Production can move beyond the head site onto partner lines.

Transfer

Technology transfer is part of the package, not a later negotiation.

  • Middle East
  • North Africa
  • Southeast Asia
  • Eastern Europe
  • Latin America

NWF10 V.4

A radio-linked strike quadcopter with thermal and AI targeting. Published envelope: 30 km, more than 5 kg, 170 km/h, 15 minutes, and 5,000 m. It was designed around the RPG-7 projectile and has been through trials in active war zones in multiple countries. Figures below are the V.4 brochure set.

6 TOPS

CRSF protocol, CVBS video, picture-in-picture. The system tracks a selected target until impact.

  • Two charges PG-7V, PG-7VL, and PG-7VM, 60 mm and 81/82 mm mortar bombs, S-5, and other ammunition in that class. The interface was standardized so a customer is not locked to one manufacturer.
  • Protected video The 1.2 GHz path is specified as resistant to video interception.
  • Omnidirectional antenna 360° coverage so the aircraft is not lost in a turn.
  • Four ELRS antennas Horizontal and vertical polarization, so one group is intended to hold a signal through roll, pitch, and yaw.
  • Automatic frequency switch Four working frequencies. The set selects the cleanest channel.
  • Ship card versus airframe spec The shipborne card lists a 3 kg payload example, thermal and AI, and targets on ground and sea. The aircraft specification remains 5+ kg. The 3 kg figure is the card, not a second airframe weight.
  • Training profiles Shore static target: deck, water, coast, target. Ship-to-ship static: deck, open sea, static ship. Each profile in the briefing has four stages. The aircraft page holds those stages.

NWF10f

Digital fiber-optic control and a jammer-seeker function. Real-time control, no radio latency, and a link that stays up when electronic warfare would take a conventional FPV set off the air. The published purpose of the seeker is direction finding: bearing and azimuth of active jamming stations inside its frequency range.

On the beam

Two directional wideband antennas, an RSSI chain, and a comparison of the two antenna levels. The slide tells the pilot to fly toward maximum RSSI while holding minimal azimuth mismatch.

Pilot OSD

Two cues

RSSI is received signal strength. Azimuth arrows show the source relative to the nose. No arrows, or a balanced pair, means the heading is about on the bearing. Rising RSSI with quiet arrows means the aircraft is closing on that line.

Detection marks targets in daylight and infrared. A frame and a digital signature follow the classification the customer sets. The network is specified to train on the user’s photo and video.

Ground station

Controls the aircraft beyond line of sight. The station claim is up to 30 km. The NWF10f aircraft fiber range remains up to 25 km. Over water, the 4-channel ELRS path is about 20 km, with the antenna placed to avoid shielding.

What the briefing lists

Manpower in shelters, light armor, engineering structures, warehouses, hangars, urban fighting, and fortified positions. The cloud is described as moving through openings. Both heat numbers are printed. Treat them as the document’s range, not one lab result. The curve on the VDS-1 chart is not converted into extra claims here.

Detonation board

Own power, a switch in the case outline, remote cocking with a safety timer, an impact sensor, a flight-controller interface, abort self-destruct, two charges, an airburst mode, and a standard electronic detonator. The page names those functions. It does not describe how to build them.

Compliance

Ethical conduct, full legal compliance, and responsible partnerships are the principles printed in the holding briefing.

Customers

Sovereign states

Legitimate defense and security needs of sovereign states that are free from active armed conflicts and international sanctions.

Refusals

Zero tolerance

No cooperation with prohibited organizations, terrorist groups, illegal armed formations, or any entity under international sanctions.

Controls

Access and risk

Security protocols, confidentiality controls, and regular risk assessments, used to prevent unauthorized access to information, technologies, intellectual property, and assets.

Research

Weeks, not months

Electronic-warfare resistance, range and payload, AI-assisted targeting, and room for coordinated employment as customer doctrine matures. Upgrades cite precision, GPS-denied resilience, cost, and integration with existing defense systems.

Questions from the briefings

Short answers using the published numbers. The aircraft pages keep the longer layout.

Who is the customer?

Sovereign states free of active armed conflict and sanctions. The holding refuses prohibited organizations, terrorist groups, illegal armed formations, and sanctioned entities.

What is in the package?

Platform, training, support, localization, and technology transfer. Regions named in the 2026 briefing: Middle East, North Africa, Southeast Asia, Eastern Europe, and Latin America.

What did TD-1 Wasp publish?

Range 10 km, attack endurance above 20 minutes, speed 160 km/h, real-time VR guidance. It is the export aircraft that preceded the current NWF10 family in the timeline.

How do NWF10 and NWF10f differ?

NWF10 V.4 is the radio aircraft: up to 30 km, 5+ kg, 170 km/h, 15 minutes, 5,000 m, thermal and AI. NWF10f is the fiber aircraft: up to 25 km, real-time control, and a jammer seeker. A separate fiber note allows up to 20 km on external fiber under 80 km/h.

Is the payload 3 kg or 5 kg?

The aircraft specification is 5+ kg. The shipborne card lists a 3 kg example. Both numbers are in the briefing. They are not the same claim.

Which ranges belong to the ground station?

Station control beyond line of sight is up to 30 km. NWF10f fiber use is up to 25 km. The ELRS path over water is about 20 km.

What are the thermobaric figures?

5 kg total, about 4.5 kg fill, case 120 by 400 mm, continuous damage up to 15 m, thermal damage up to 30 m, volume up to 100 m³, response under 0.02 s. Heat is printed as up to 3,000°C and up to 1,500°. TNT equivalent of the volume-detonating class is usually up to 10.

What can the head plant do?

12,000+ m², four modules, 200 units per line per day, 30,000+ per year before overseas assembly. An earlier month-end run rate was above 500, when headcount was about 200. Later outlook: 1,500+ staff, revenue above $300 million, volume above 40,000.
