Oslo, Norway, 13th November. Six Robotics and Robot Aviation have formalised a collaboration aimed at accelerating the development of next-generation unmanned aerial capabilities. As a trusted Norwegian producer of long-endurance UAVs, Robot Aviation represents an important part of the national industrial base. Through this MoA, the parties aim to strengthen and operationalise the Norwegian value chain in defence technology by combining Robot Aviation’s experience in unmanned aerial platforms with Six Robotics’ swarming autonomy for national and allied users.

A shared vision for future unmanned operations

Robot Aviation develops long-endurance, professional-grade unmanned aircraft designed for Arctic and other demanding environments. With deep engineering competence across hardware, software, and system integration, the company delivers complete system solutions trusted for operations where reliability and performance are critical.

As the collaboration moves forward, Six Robotics will continue evolving the Valkyrie autonomy platform to support new mission needs and platform configurations, while Robot Aviation contributes its experience in building and operating advanced unmanned systems. Together, the companies will explore how autonomy and airframes can be combined in new ways, working through iterative development and joint experimentation to mature capabilities over time.

Building a national and allied drone ecosystem

The MoU is intentionally non-exclusive and forms part of a broader effort to contribute to a secure, sovereign, and interoperable unmanned ecosystem for Norway and its allies. 

By combining Robot Aviation’s production and integration experience with Six Robotics’ advanced swarming and autonomy technologies, the parties aim to further strengthen and operationalise this value chain, expanding opportunities for collaboration across industry, defence, and research.
