High Eye Secures Dutch Navy Contract for Airboxer VTOL UAV

A New Chapter in Maritime Innovation
High Eye is thrilled to announce a significant milestone in our journey of innovation and growth: the selection of our Airboxer VTOL UAV by the Dutch Navy. After an extensive study of maritime VTOL UAV systems, the Dutch Navy recognized the Airboxer's suitability for the challenging maritime domain.
With over a decade of development, the Airboxer has evolved to its current level through dedication and craftsmanship. We are immensely proud that the Dutch Navy acknowledges the qualities of the Airboxer and the expertise of High Eye through this choice.
CEO Joost de Ruiter says: "The selection of the Airboxer is a milestone for High Eye. We are committed to becoming a long-term partner of the Dutch Navy. Integrating different payloads and embedding them in naval operations will be a valuable learning experience that will elevate our cooperation to the next level."
"It is great news for us that after winning an international tender from the Ministry of Defense, High Eye has now signed a contract with the Royal Navy. We see this as a reward for the hard work of our team and, above all, as an encouragement to continue." De Ruiter highlights. With these prestigious NATO customers, High Eye is ready to expand its international footprint.
We extend our gratitude to all who contributed to this achievement and look forward to a fruitful collaboration with the Dutch Navy.

High Eye started approximately 30 years ago as a model helicopter company. The helicopters were designed and built by the owner, who offered filming services like movies and commercials. In July 2013, Joost de Ruiter joined the company as CEO and majority shareholder. With several years of experience as an entrepreneur in a various range of companies and his enthusiasm for advanced technical products, he laid the foundation for High Eye as a professional unmanned aviation company.Later that year, High Eye decided to change its strategy and therefore ceased the model helicopter services. The company's focus switched to designing and building a robust unmanned helicopter, ready to be used for civil and military purposes. New employees with various backgrounds joined the company, to ensure a wide range of knowledge from aviation regulations to aerospace and automotive engineering. The team worked on the development of the new Airboxer model for 5 years, until it was released on the UAV market in 2018.
