Denmark’s Sky-Watch joins NSPA procurement framework for RQ-35 Heidrun reconnaissance drone

Sky-Watch joined a NATO Support and Procurement Agency framework allowing participating countries to acquire its unarmed RQ-35 Heidrun reconnaissance drone and associated in-service logistics support. The agreement gives members of NSPA’s UAS Partnership a direct purchasing route through the agency, potentially reducing the administrative steps required for national acquisitions. The portable aircraft supports frontline intelligence, surveillance, target acquisition and reconnaissance, and has been used in Ukraine according to the manufacturer. Announced by the Danish company on September 28, the framework creates procurement eligibility rather than a disclosed volume order, with its value, duration and expected purchase quantities unspecified.
