AIRO Group receives first U.S. drone order for Sky-Watch’s RQ-35 and RQ-70 from government buyer

AIRO Group announced its first U.S. drone sale, an order from an unnamed government customer for Sky-Watch’s RQ-35 Heidrun and RQ-70 Dainn reconnaissance systems. The hand-launched Heidrun is designed to operate under electronic warfare pressure, and the Defense Contract Management Agency added it to the Blue UAS List in July 2026. Sky-Watch lists up to eight hours of endurance and an operational range of up to 100 kilometers for the larger Dainn, which can be configured for vertical takeoff and landing. AIRO did not disclose quantities, contract value or the customer’s specific mission.
