Malloy Aeronautics

Malloy Aeronautics is a British company which specialises in the research and development of heavy lift vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).

[2][3] Its products include the T-series of heavy lift drones, which are primarily designed for logistics purposes, for private, commercial, military and government use.

[4] The company designs and manufactures a range of electrical vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) drones for private, commercial, military and government use.

They are primarily designed for logistics and resupply, but larger models can also be used for casualty evacuation, anti-submarine warfare, mine countermeasures, search and rescue, close air support, surveillance and monitoring.

[13] In September 2023, the T600 took part in Exercise REP(MUS) in Portugal and demonstrated its ability to release a Sting Ray torpedo.

[15] A one-third scale version was developed in the UK for a proof of concept prior to a demonstration of a full-scale prototype by the US Army in September 2016 and January 2017.

[26][27] In November 2020, a number of T150 drones were used by the Royal Marines during a trial deployment of the nascent Littoral Response Group (North).

[28] During the same year, under Project Minerva, the MOD awarded Malloy Aeronautics a contract to develop its T80 drone to be used as a man overboard recovery system for the Royal Navy.

[30] In August 2020, three T150s were showcased onboard aircraft carrier HMS Prince of Wales (R09) with each configured differently with cargo, an unmanned underwater vehicle (UUV) and a life raft delivery system.

These challenges tested a variety of commercially available drones for their ability to carry supplies to the frontline for disaster relief or to support Royal Marines operations.
