Arotech Subsidiary Gets MAV Contract

Arotech Corporation’s Electric Fuel subsidiary has received a follow-on contract from an Israeli security agency to continue developing prototype zinc-air cells for Micro Aerial Vehicles (MAVs) that can maintain flight for extended periods of time.

In June last year, a zinc-air battery developed under the previous contract powered a MAV in a flight longer than that achieved with the same MAV using a high-performance lithium-ion polymer battery.

“MAVs and other unmanned ground and airborne vehicles need advanced power sources,” said Robert S. Ehrlich, Arotech CEO. “Our zinc-air battery can significantly increase mission time for these vehicles.”
