Fort Lauderdale, Florida,--(Newsfile Corp. - February 4, 2021) - UAS Drone Corp. (OTCQB: USDR), a leader in robotics technology and drone solutions, announced today that its wholly owned Israeli subsidiary, Duke Airborne Systems Ltd. ("Duke"), and Elbit Systems Land Ltd. ("Elbit") signed a Collaboration Agreement ("Agreement") for global marketing and sales, and the production and further development of Duke's developed advanced robotic system mounted on an Unmanned Aerial Solution (UAS), armed with lightweight firearms, or TIKAD.

According to the main terms of the Collaboration Agreement -

  • Duke has granted Elbit a worldwide exclusive license for the use of Duke's knowhow and intellectual property, and for the marketing, sales, production, and further development of the TIKAD for military, defense, homeland security and para-military uses.
  • The parties will also cooperate in continuing a project ("Project") that has already started with a customer in the Asia Pacific region. Elbit has agreed to invest, at its discretion and pursuant to certain milestones, in the further development and setting up of serial production lines of TIKAD and may elect to increase such investment subject to the satisfaction of certain criteria, including Elbit's right to terminate the Agreement if, for example, the Project is cancelled by the customer. Such investment amounts will be made into Elbit's owned assets and production lines of TIKAD. Elbit will recoup fifty percent of its investment amount, up to $6 million, by offsetting fifty percent of royalty payments that may be due to Duke.
  • In addition to the cooperation in the Project, Elbit will pay Duke royalties from revenues received from world-wide sales of TIKAD, with royalty rates ranging from low to mid double figure percentages, depending on the tiers of the selling price of TIKAD. Revenues to be received from the Project will entitle Duke to a higher payments and rate of royalties. Elbit will pay Duke royalties on sales of TIKAD units for a period starting from the date of the Agreement until 15 years following receipt of US$50 million in cumulative revenues from sales of TIKAD units.
  • Duke to pay Elbit similar rates of royalties for revenues received by Duke from sales of its advanced robotic system for civil use, if such systems will include new know-how developed by Elbit.

Elbit Systems Land is a subsidiary of Elbit Systems Ltd., an international high technology company engaged in a wide range of defense, homeland security and commercial programs throughout the world.

We believe that this collaboration represents a significant opportunity for UAS Drone Corp. to expand its global business and sales of its TIKAD product. There is no guarantee that UAS Drone Corp., via Duke, will recognize any royalties or that the further development or future sales of the TIKAD will be successful.

About UAS Drone Corp. and Duke Robotics Inc.:

In June 2020, UAS Drone Corp. (OTCQB: USDR) completed the acquisition of Duke Robotics Inc. Duke Robotics is a forward-thinking company focused on bringing necessary products and solutions to the defense sector. Duke Robotics developed TIKAD, an advanced robotic system designed to serve the growing need for tech solutions in the combat field. Duke Robotics' revolutionary stabilization technology enables remote, real-time and accurate firing of lightweight firearms and weaponry via an unmanned aerial platform (UAV). The proprietary and confidential complex kinematic algorithms address the crucial need of modern warfare to carry weapon on remote to bear on remote hostile targets without risk to the military personnel.

We believe that troops can use TIKAD to handle potentially dangerous situations quickly and efficiently from the air. This technology also allows troops to potentially disarm a situation remotely, without ever deploying a ground presence.
