AIRO to Showcase Combat-Proven RQ-35 ISR Drone at Modern Warfare Week
AIRO Group Holdings is set to display its cutting-edge defence technologies during Modern Warfare Week, organized by the Global SOF Foundation in Fayetteville, North Carolina. The RQ-35 drone, developed by AIRO’s specialized brands Sky-Watch and Coastal Defense, is engineered for battlefield effectiveness, enabling real-time target tracking and smooth integration with combat systems.
Autonomous Surveillance and Battlefield Integration
The RQ-35 operates autonomously, providing continuous aerial surveillance and communication without the need for constant user control. This capability enhances situational awareness and operational efficiency for military forces.
“Sky-Watch has spent years refining ISR systems in close partnership with frontline operators,” said Martin Schousboe, CEO of Sky-Watch. “The RQ-35 reflects that legacy—built for resilience, autonomy, and mission success in the world’s most challenging environments. With AIRO replicating our manufacturing capabilities in Phoenix, we’re ensuring that U.S. forces have direct access to the same trusted technology, backed by a secure and scalable domestic supply chain.”
Operational Track Record and Global Use
- Each RQ-35 system has completed over 500 successful missions.
