New partnerships strengthen local support for ANAFI UKR across Europe and the Asia-Pacific region
Parrot has expanded its global distribution network with five new defence and security partners across Central and Eastern Europe and the Asia-Pacific region. The new agreements bring Allies Incorporated in Poland, Panna Plus in Slovenia, Croatia and Montenegro, Pramacom-HT in Czechia and Slovakia, MarcTel in Romania and Advance Homeland Defense Incorporated in the Philippines into Parrot’s distribution ecosystem.
The move strengthens Parrot’s local presence in regions where demand continues to grow for its ANAFI UKR intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) micro-UAV range. The aircraft combines secure European design, edge AI and advanced mission software for defence, public safety and government users.
Stronger Local Support for Defence and Public Safety Agencies
The new distributors will market, sell and support Parrot’s professional micro-UAV portfolio in their respective countries. They will also provide demonstrations, training, implementation support, program management and after-sales services. These services give end-users local resources for reliable deployment and long-term sustainment.
Each partner has deep experience in defence and security ecosystems. They also maintain long-standing relationships with government agencies, armed forces and public safety users.
“In defence and public safety markets, success depends not only on technology but also on strong local partnerships,” said Chris Roberts, Senior Vice President at Parrot. “By combining our sovereign, cyber-secure ANAFI UKR tactical ISR micro-UAV system with distributors that understand their national ecosystems and stay close to operational users, we can deploy capabilities faster, support customers over the full lifecycle of their programmes, and accelerate our growth from Central and Eastern Europe to the Asia-Pacific region.”
A Scalable Path for International Growth
These new agreements support Parrot’s channel strategy built around trusted local distributors. The company aims to create a resilient global network that can meet modernization priorities and interoperability needs. The model also helps users sustain critical systems for long-term operations.
By expanding this partner-based system, Parrot continues to strengthen its position in defence and public safety markets worldwide.
Bringing ANAFI UKR Capabilities Closer to Frontline Users
ANAFI UKR is designed for a wide range of missions. These include tactical reconnaissance, border surveillance, disaster response and the protection of critical infrastructure. The system also supports law enforcement and public safety operations.
Key features of ANAFI UKR include:
- Secure and resilient communications for contested environments
- AI-enabled on-board processing for video analytics and target detection
- High-performance EO IR payloads integrated with mission software
- Robust, reliable design for day and night missions
- Low-signature, backpack-portable airframe
- Rapid set-up for time-critical scenarios
Local partners will offer in-country training, maintenance, upgrades and ongoing support.
“ANAFI UKR has been designed with frontline operators in mind,” added Chris Roberts. “Its edge AI processing, secure communications and advanced ISR mission software give tactical teams faster access to exploitable intelligence, even in contested electromagnetic environments. Through our new distribution partners, these capabilities are now available with local training, integration and sustainment support”.
