First North-listed CybAero, which develops and manufactures remotely piloted
helicopters with associated sensor systems, received its first call-off order
for five systems from Chinese AVIC today.
In July 2014, CybAero announced that it received an order with a guaranteed
minimum value of SEK 700–800 million under an 8-year framework agreement with a
company within the Aviation Industry Corporation of China (AVIC).
The order is linked to the framework agreement which entails AVIC purchasing at
least 20 helicopter systems in the first three years and at least 50 more
systems over the following five years.
"It is very exciting to be able to announce that we have received the first call
-off order under the framework agreement. The order is for five systems for
civilian and commercial use. It is especially exciting to be able to reveal that
the order is for CybAero's APID ONE Ranger model which we unveiled today.
Delivery is expected for 2015. We are engaged in an ongoing dialogue with ISP
(the Swedish Agency for Non-Proliferation and Export Controls) concerning an
export license, and we plan to submit an application for this order
immediately," says Mikael Hult, CEO of CybAero.
