Fusion42 · 30 July 2026 · Fusion42 review

Apco Aviation Defense, an Israeli firm, is leveraging its five decades of expertise in sports aviation to develop advanced, custom recovery systems for military drones, UAS, and loitering munitions. The company provides turnkey solutions including gliding ram-air parachutes and inflatable airbags to ensure controlled, safe landings for high-value assets.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Defense Tech.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

The recovery system for your drone is now a specialist engineering problem, not a commodity parachute. Customers with high-value payloads will expect a controlled glide and soft landing, not just a slowed crash.
