Japan’s Acquisition, Technology & Logistics Agency has signed a mass-production contract with Terra Drone Corporation for an interceptor drone designated Terra B1, the agency announced August 25.
Terra Drone said Terra B1 was the only aircraft to pass the agency’s demonstration test among the systems evaluated, advancing it alone to the mass-production phase.
The contract followed trials that the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force conducted on ATLA’s behalf between July 15 and August 6, testing four different interceptor drone models. ATLA has not disclosed the contract’s value or the number of Terra B1 units it plans to procure.
