Background
Malloy Aeronautics is a UK drone manufacturer and subsidiary of BAE Systems FalconWorks, the rapid-prototyping and advanced-technology arm of BAE Systems. Its integration into the FalconWorks structure was confirmed in April 2026 alongside revelations of Tekever's scale of MoD business. Malloy was named as a supplier in UK Defence Secretary John Healey's £752 million Ukraine drone package announced on 15 April 2026 at the 34th Ukraine Defence Contact Group in Berlin.
Malloy builds the T-150 quadcopter, a utility logistics platform capable of carrying substantial payloads for resupply missions. The FalconWorks parent gives Malloy access to BAE's supply chain, export relationships, and testing infrastructure while retaining the SME speed and focus that characterises the drone sector's most AGILE players.
As a BAE subsidiary in the Ukraine package, Malloy sits at the intersection of legacy prime-contractor scale and the attritable drone economics that now define frontline procurement. The £752M package signals the UK is prepared to back domestic SMEs — even BAE-owned ones — over cheaper offshore alternatives for politically sensitive Ukrainian supply.
