Cyberlux Corporation (OTC: CYBL), a leading defense technology innovator, today announced the next phase of the company’s defense industry unmanned aircraft system (UAS) strategy, redefining how small Group 1 UAS are developed, produced and deployed in modern conflict environments.The next phase of strategy establishes Cyberlux as a driving force in attritable, high-impact UAS systems designed to deliver mass, modularity and mission adaptability at the lowest possible cost. By offering a first-person-view (FPV) UAS as “ammunition, not aircraft,” Cyberlux aims to become the “Kalashnikov of drones,” delivering scalable, expendable systems to defense customers globally.Revolutionizing Defense Through Attritable EconomicsCyberlux’s new models focus on delivering near–front line production of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) airframes using proven technology applied in new ways. These include unique methods of manufacture, 3D-printed systems and traditional methods common to the company’s expertise. The focus is on cost efficiency and scalability, with a variety of offerings dependent on partner requirements. Systems are National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA)-compliant for U.S. military sales as well as readily available commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) components for foreign military sales (FMS). This multi-faceted approach enables defense customers and partner nations to choose how they wish to deploy drones rapidly and consistently, with production at or near the front lines.Each Cyberlux-designed system can be licensed for local manufacture, providing partners with cost-effective production with vastly improved logistical considerations, while ensuring a scalable, forward-deployed supply chain for critical missions.A Modular Family of FPV SystemsAt the core of the strategy is a family of systems (FoS), each platform tailored to specific mission profiles, payloads and operational environments:<ul><li>Spider (small) – Lightweight, low-cost, rucksack-portable, attritable, strike-capable, one-way or single-use FPV system delivering 1.5-pound payloads.</li><li>Huntsman (medium) – Tactical, low-cost FPV platform capable of attritable one-way strike and precision payload-delivery mission profiles of up to 4 pounds, bridging the gap between small expendables and fixed-wing systems.</li><li>Tasmanian (large) – Heavy-lift, affordable, dual-use FPV capable of intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) and munitions delivery with multiple gimbal options and 10-pound payload capacity.</li><li>Weaver (trainer) – Compact, affordable FPV training drone developed to establish Cyberlux as the premier provider of FPV operator training, addressing the Department of Defense’s growing need for skilled UAS pilots, which can also be used for tactical reconnaissance by all troops.</li></ul>This modular, scalable approach ensures each platform can be customized rapidly for mission-specific requirements — from electronic warfare (EW) and ISR payloads to kinetic payloads — building on current partnerships such as the Optical Knowledge Systems Inc. OMNISCIENCE autonomy suite artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) integration agreement, and the strategic collaboration agreement with Argus Industrial LLC on kinetic payloads.Training the Next Generation of UAS OperatorsRecognizing that FPV piloting is a highly perishable skill set, the Cyberlux UAS strategy includes a dedicated training and simulation ecosystem. Through its Train-the-Trainer (T3) program, Cyberlux will deliver both hardware and curriculum solutions, empowering U.S. and allied forces to rapidly scale FPV proficiency across their ranks.Positioned for Growth and Global Defense Leadership“Cyberlux is leading the transformation of defense industry UAS from boutique systems into mass-production, mass-deployable, attritable munitions. Our objective is to make advanced UAS capability accessible and scalable for defense and allied customers — fast to build, affordable to deploy and lethal in effect,” said Mark Schmidt, CEO of Cyberlux Corporation. “By combining modular design, manufacturing licenses and a comprehensive training ecosystem, we enable partners to field affordable, mission-effective systems while maintaining strict compliance with export controls and end-use safeguards.”Cyberlux is among only a handful of defense companies to have successfully delivered more than 2,000 unmanned aerial systems under U.S. Department of Defense contracts, a milestone that underscores the company’s proven ability to move from concept to combat capability at scale. As a result, Cyberlux is positioned at the forefront of the next generation of battlefield autonomy, blending agility, affordability and adaptability to meet the evolving demands of modern warfare.
