Next deadline nears for UK Apache ‘loyal wingman’ acquisition

Four companies are competing in the latest phase of Project Nyx, a British Army initiative to develop a “loyal wingman” drone designed to operate alongside the AH-64E Apache fleet. The bidders have until November 17th to submit their responses as part of this tender process. This represents the penultimate stage before a downselect is expected by year-end. The project aims to provide enhanced battlefield capabilities for the UK’s armed forces through autonomous aerial support. Developers are seeking to integrate advanced technology with the existing Boeing AH-64E Apache helicopters.
