Canadian UVAD Technologies has publicly demonstrated the supersonic Falcon UAV, noted for its low cost and multifunctionality. A demonstration took place during the Air Force Tech Summit in Berlin in November 2025. The presentation was conducted together with the company’s European partner German INTEC Industrie-Technik, which will handle bringing Falcon to the European market. The Canadian company has reported that the development of the Falcon UAV stands at a fairly high level of readiness, with flight testing expected to begin in 2026-2027. Canadian development is supported by Raytheon, which invested in the company in 2024.

The Falcon UAV has a takeoff weight of 450 kg, it can accelerate to Mach 1.6 (up to Mach 1.3 at low altitude), can stay airborne for up to 30 minutes, climb to an altitude of up to 10 km, and carry a payload of up to 50 kg. Additional features include placement of a launcher and two Falcons in a shipping container. This is possible due to the fact that the Falcon UAV is onlhy 5.8 meters in length with a wingspan of 2.2 meters.
