The establishment of the new production line will enable both companies to meet the needs of their customers in the region.
March 22 nd , 2023. Aeronautics Group – a world leader in designing, developing and
manufacturing comprehensive defense solutions focused on Unmanned Aerial Systems
(UAS), for the global defense & HLS markets, has signed a collaboration agreement with one
of the leading defense companies in Thailand, RV Connex, for in-country production of the
innovative tactical UAV, Orbiter 4.

vehicle, its sub-systems and its ground support system – which the company offers its
customers worldwide. In addition, local flight crews will be trained to perform various flight
operations and lead training programs for local clients.
“The collaboration agreement with RV Connex, a company with an excellent reputation in
the Asian market, is another pillar in the significant growth of Aeronautics in the past three
years,” says Gilad Landsberg, Vice President and Head of the Tactical & MALE UAS Division
at Aeronautics. “RV Connex provides a precise answer to the needs of the Asian defense
market. Together with Aeronautics' advanced and proven solutions, this is a partnership
that will enable a leap forward in Aeronautics’ business activities in the Asia Pacific region.”
“I am happy about the deepening of the alliance between the two companies,” says
Peeraphon Trakulchang, Vice President at RV Connex. “This collaboration is a landmark
event for both of us – a significant step forward in our long-standing relationship, and in
particular, our continued commitment and dedication towards effectively developing our
local capabilities to serve Aeronautics’ end users, not only in Thailand, but also in the
neighboring regions.”
