PDW's Attritable Strike Drone Enters Production, Ready to Build at Scale

Engineered for mass manufacturability and domestic scalability, PDW’s Attritable Multirotor strike drone is ready to build at scale. Developed ahead of the rapid shift toward distributed strike systems now shaping modern conflict, the system is a ruggedized, rapid response asset shaped by battlefield insight. Designed to fill critical front line gaps, it delivers both anti-personnel and anti-material effects in harsh conditions and contested environments.

Purpose-built for versatility with swappable arm configurations (5”, 7” and 10” platforms) and universal payload interfaces, the Attritable Multirotor provides operators with the speed and maneuverability of a small drone with endurance of larger systems in one packable platform. Its modularity and payload interoperability future-proof the system by allowing updates and customization based on size, weight and payload requirements. The system has a five-pound payload capacity, and a 10km point-to-point operational range that extends to greater than 20km when utilizing the C100’s C2 relay.

“Drones have evolved from a tactical advantage to a battlefield necessity,” said PDW CEO James Slider. “FPV systems in particular have reshaped tactics by delivering precision strike capability at a fraction of the cost of traditional systems. Any force that cannot field them at scale is operating at a disadvantage.”

Matured through operator feedback, structured testing cycles, and manufacturing readiness integration, the Attritable Multirotor is a standardized, supportable configuration, purpose-built for deployment at scale.

The NDAA-compliant platform now includes a high-performance Ground Control Station capable of extended-range missions, and features modular, tool-less components that allow for quick field reconfiguration. Its upgraded airframe improves durability while reducing weight, and refined packaging and kitting make transport, setup, and deployment more streamlined and mission-ready.
