IDEX: Paramount’s N-Raven loitering munition goes into production

The first deliveries will be in October, to meet the urgent requirements of armed forces around the world.

N-Raven has been digitally designed with quick transfer of technology in mind, to enable governments to manufacture these loitering munitions in their countries, in less than one year. The announcement was made at the International Defence Exhibition & Conference (IDEX 2023) in Abu Dhabi today.

Paramount Aerospace Systems has developed the N-Raven as a robust yet cost-effective loitering munition to meet the needs of the new battlefield in both asymmetrical and symmetrical warfare, by utilising proven building blocks, components and experience gained from the company’s previously- fielded and operational remote-controlled systems.

Designed to strengthen armed forces’ aerial reconnaissance, engagement and precision strike capabilities, while removing humans from harm’s way, the N Raven addresses the increasing requirements of governments for defence industrial autonomy and maintaining security of supply”, contends Paramount Global CEO, Steve Griessel.

The company also chose IDEX to reveal its new branding.

Founder of Paramount, Ivor Ichikowitz said: “Over the past 30 years, the world has changed significantly, and so has our trajectory. Our new logo is in line with the growth and development of the company and positions us well into the future.

“Our brand evolution reflects our transformation into a complete technology company. We are focused on designing, engineering, prototyping, industrialisation, assembly and certification of ingenious, 360- degree, battle-proven defence solutions that fit each of the local markets we serve.”
