Editorial summaries

HX-2 (and HF-1)

Helsing's HX-2 is an electric X-wing precision-strike munition (about 100 kilometers range, 250 kilometers per hour, up to 5 kilograms payload) with onboard AI for electronic-warfare resistance, built at the company's southern-Germany Resilience Factory at a stated capacity above 1,000 per month; the related HF-1 is a plywood-fuselage AI loitering munition with GPS-independent navigation made with Ukrainian industry. Helsing, founded in Munich in March 2021 and chaired by Spotify's Daniel Ek, reached a roughly 12-billion-euro valuation in a June 2025 Series D.

DEPLOY records the drone line at production maturity on a verified fielding anchor: a German-underwritten 4,000-unit HF-1 order with 1,950 units delivered to Ukraine. The larger 6,000-unit HX-2 order announced in February 2025 is ordered, not yet verified-delivered, and DEPLOY holds that distinction rather than counting it as fielded. It is defense procurement; there is no consumer price.

Parrot ANAFI Ai

Parrot's ANAFI Ai is a 4G-connected professional micro-UAV quadcopter (launched June 2021), marketed as the first 4G-connected robotic UAV, with the Air SDK for onboard autonomous-mission code. It is a professional/commercial drone from the European (French) maker rather than a defense system. Its autonomy is operator-deployed: the Air SDK lets developers run autonomous-mission code onboard, but the aircraft is flown and tasked by an operator, not fully autonomous. DEPLOY records no reviewed consumer price on file; it is at production maturity.
