Editorial summaries
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.
Vector (and Trinity)
Quantum Systems' Vector is a fixed-wing VTOL tactical ISR (reconnaissance) drone from the Munich-based new-defense maker founded in 2015 by ex-Bundeswehr pilot Florian Seibel. It is sold to governments, not consumers, so there is no consumer price. Its fielding is the cleanest of the new-defense set: Germany-financed deliveries to Ukraine reached 619 Vector units by April 2025 (up from 438 across 2022-2023 orders), alongside 100 donated Trinity survey drones. The company raised a EUR 160M Series C in May 2025 (the first European dual-use unicorn) and a EUR 180M round in November 2025 at roughly a EUR 3B / $3.5B valuation. On AI substance the Vector is genuinely AI-powered ISR (onboard detection, combat-reported acoustic artillery detection), but it is a reconnaissance platform whose autonomy is processing-grade, not strike-grade: a lower autonomy ambition than Anduril or Helsing, and much of the AI detail rests on company description. Recorded at commercial maturity on fielding evidence. A plan to build 400 Vector drones in Ukraine, EUR 300-500M revenue projections, and a possible 2026 IPO are claimed but not verified.
