Hoverfly Technologies and Maser Defence Successfully Deliver Hoverfly Sentry TeUAS for Australian Defence Force Trials

The field-proven TeUAS will endure a series of trials and evaluations during major ADF exercises in 2025

SANFORD, Fla., June 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Hoverfly Technologies (Hoverfly) and their Australian partners, Maser Defence, have successfully delivered Hoverfly Sentry Tethered Unmanned Aerial System (TeUAS) to an Australian Government customer for trial and evaluation. This significant milestone aligns with major Australian Defence Force (ADF) exercises in 2025, where the Sentry TeUAS will demonstrate its advanced capabilities in real-world operational environments.

Hoverfly Sentry can carry a single radio payload or ISR camera to 200 ft.

ELEVATING NEW FRONTIERS

This delivery marks Hoverfly's first venture on the Australian continent. With a long history of field-proven reliability, Sentry is ready to take its field-proven capabilities to the austere and challenging environment down-under. The trailblazing TeUAS is payload agnostic, offering persistent aerial surveillance, communication network range extension, and counter UAS (cUAS) operations, among other mission sets. Its ability to provide continuous airborne operations with an uninterruptible power source is a game-changer for defence applications. By integrating seamlessly with existing command and control infrastructure, the Sentry enhances situational awareness, enabling more effective decision-making for leaders on the battlefield.

INTERNATIONAL PARTNERSHIP

Announced in February of this year, Hoverfly and Maser Defence have partnered to bring cutting-edge, mission-critical capabilities to the modern battlefield. Maser Defence, a trusted provider of advanced defence solutions in Australia, has been instrumental in facilitating the deployment of the Hoverfly Sentry. Their expertise in defence technology integration has ensured a smooth delivery and transition into trial phases, allowing the Australian Government to evaluate the system's performance under rigorous operational conditions.

ENHANCING AUSTRALIAN DEFENCE

The inclusion of the Hoverfly Sentry in major ADF exercises highlights the growing interest in tethered UAS technology for enhancing battlefield awareness and force protection. With the successful delivery of Sentry TeUAS, Hoverfly Technologies and Maser Defence are committed to supporting Australia's defence initiatives by strengthening sovereign defence capabilities and enhancing operational effectiveness for Australia's military and security forces.

As the ADF continues to modernize its technological capabilities, the integration of tethered drone systems like the Hoverfly Sentry underscores the importance of persistent aerial operations in contemporary defence operations. The ongoing trials and evaluations will shape the future of autonomous systems in the Australian Defence landscape, ensuring that personnel have access to the most advanced tethered platforms available.
