PDW Secures U.S. Air Force Contract for C100 Tactical UAS

PDW expands its support across the U.S. Department of Defense, enabling more mission sets through scalable, American-made drone technology

HUNTSVILLE, Ala., Oct. 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- PDW has received its first contract award with the U.S. Air Force for its C100 multi-mission UAS, marking a major milestone in the company's expansion across the U.S. military. The contract was awarded by the 93rd Air Ground Operations Wing (AGOW), headquartered at Moody Air Force Base in Georgia, which commands four subordinate units supporting diverse Air Force missions across a wide array of operational domains.

"The U.S. Air Force is seeking advanced, modular solutions to fill a critical gap in rapidly deployable, multi-mission aerial platforms and PDW's C100 is the perfect system to deliver on this need," said Ryan Gury, CEO and co-founder of PDW. "The 93rd AGOW's operational diversity is a perfect match for the C100's modular payload ecosystem and unmatched performance across a range of mission profiles."

The C100, PDW's flagship Group 2 UAS, is engineered for maximum agility, endurance, and tactical flexibility. The ultimate force multiplier, the C100 is capable of 74-minute flight times, 40 mph maximum speed, and a 10+ km operational range. With multi-domain command and control and a truly modular architecture, the C100 excels in a variety of mission sets, including ISR, electronic warfare, and kinetic effects.

"The C100's industry-leading performance and payload modularity enables rapid adaptation and overmatch to evolving threats the Air Force faces across the globe," said Gury. "We're proud to help bring that flexibility and scalability to the Air Force's tactical edge."

This Air Force award builds on PDW's recent contract wins from the U.S. Army, including the Medium Range Reconnaissance (MRR) program and the Transformation in Contact Initiative. Learn more about the C100's military capabilities at www.pdw.ai/defense.
