PDW’s Attritable Strike Drone Enters Production – Ready to Build at Scale

by BDI Editorial Staff

Engineered for mass manufacturability and domestic scalability, PDW’s Attritable Multirotor strike drone is now ready to build at scale. Developed ahead of the rapid shift toward distributed strike systems that are shaping modern conflict, the system is a ruggedized, rapid-response asset shaped by direct battlefield insight. Designed to fill critical front-line gaps, it delivers both anti-personnel and anti-material effects in harsh conditions and contested environments.

Purpose-built for versatility with swappable arm configurations (5″, 7″, and 10″ platforms) and universal payload interfaces, the Attritable Multirotor provides operators with the speed and maneuverability of a small drone combined with the endurance of larger systems in a single packable platform. Its modularity and payload interoperability future-proof the system by enabling updates and customization based on size, weight, and payload requirements. The system features a five-pound payload capacity and a 10 km point-to-point operational range that extends beyond 20 km when utilizing the C100’s command-and-control relay.

“Drones have evolved from a tactical advantage to a battlefield necessity,” said PDW CEO James Slider. “FPV systems in particular have reshaped tactics by delivering precision strike capability at a fraction of the cost of traditional systems. Any force that cannot field them at scale is operating at a disadvantage.”

Matured through operator feedback, structured testing cycles, and manufacturing readiness integration, the Attritable Multirotor is now a standardized, supportable configuration purpose-built for deployment at scale.

The NDAA-compliant platform now includes a high-performance Ground Control Station capable of extended-range missions and features modular, tool-less components that allow for quick field reconfiguration. Its upgraded airframe improves durability while reducing weight, and refined packaging and kitting make transport, setup, and deployment more streamlined and mission-ready.
