Robotican delivers ROOSTER hybrid drone systems

Robotican announced the successful delivery of dozens of ROOSTER hybrid drone systems to European special operations forces, intervention units, and infantry teams. These deliveries represent a significant operational milestone for Robotican’s flagship system. Building on this momentum, the ROOSTER has recently secured official NATO registration, reinforcing its status as a trusted solution that meets the requirements and standards of NATO military forces. The ROOSTER is a compact, hybrid tactical drone that merges aerial agility with robotic ground mobility, making it uniquely suited for indoor, subterranean, and GPS-denied environments. Its ability to rapidly shift between flying and rolling allows for energy-efficient operation in complex and confined spaces. The integrated protective cage enables a unique robotic rolling capability, allowing the ROOSTER to maneuver across challenging terrains and access confined areas that are inaccessible to conventional drones. The system is capable of extended missions, with a typical 90 minutes of overall active operation and up to 5 hours in standby mode. It features robust MESH communication that enables up to three ROOSTER units to work together as a team—even in environments with no external communication. The Rooster is equipped with a built-in day/night IR sensitivity camera and visible/IR illuminators. Designed for flexibility, the ROOSTER supports a range of swappable sensor payloads, including thermal imager, oxygen and radiation detectors. These capabilities make it ideal for a wide range of missions, including tactical reconnaissance, urban search & rescue, hazardous materials response and industrial safety inspections. Lightweight, rugged, and operable by a single user, the system can be deployed quickly from a tactical backpack, offering forces immediate situational awareness with minimal exposure. “The ROOSTER was developed as a strategic response to the growing need for precise intelligence in challenging environments where access is limited and situational awareness is critical” said Hagai Balshai, CEO of Robotican. “By enabling forces to gather critical data before operational breach, it significantly reduces risk and enhances mission planning. Its adoption by the Israeli Ministry of Defense and Home Front Command, alongside elite European & US Special Operation Forces, reflects its field-proven value. NATO registration further positions the ROOSTER as a trusted asset for allied operations in the modern battlespace.” For Editorial Inquiries Contact: Editor Kym Bergmann at [email protected] For Advertising Inquiries Contact: Group Sales Director Simon Hadfield at [email protected]
