US-Norwegian Startup Enters Expendable Drone Market
Heaviside, a US-Norwegian drone startup, has launched its Tyr loitering munition, a low-cost, expendable drone designed for anti-tank warfare. The company has partnered with Norwegian defense firm Nammo, which provides the warheads for the drone. Heaviside’s president, Nils Haagenrud, highlighted the company’s close relationship with Nammo and its use of commercial off-the-shelf components to keep costs down. The company also has an IDIQ contract with the US Army for a handheld spectrum analyzer. This development was first reported by Breaking Defense.
