Flyby Technology, a UK-based drone developer, along with Turkish partners FlyBVLOS Technology and Maxwell Innovations, has successfully completed the first trial firing of a Thales Lightweight Multirole Missile (LMM) using its JACKAL drone system. The JACKAL drone is a versatile Vertical Take Off and Landing (VTOL) platform designed to satisfy a number of roles in modern combat operations.

During the six-week trial, Flyby and Thales teams were able to build two operational JACKAL aircraft and successfully fire two LMMs in an impressive demonstration of agile teamwork. As a plug-and-play system, new equipment and technologies can be incorporated into JACKAL between missions as well as during continued development.
