59. Novadem – France
Novadem, a French company established in 2006, specializes in the design and manufacture of professional micro-drones for both civilian and military markets.
As a pioneer in French micro-drones, Novadem has continuously innovated to provide high-performance, robust, and user-friendly unmanned aerial systems that empower professionals to leverage the aerial dimension in their daily missions, even in demanding operational environments.
Its expertise is built on over a decade of field experience and direct feedback from military and security forces.

For defense applications, Novadem is primarily known for its NX70 micro-drone, a multi-role rotary-wing UAV widely adopted by the French armed forces and other international military and security entities.
The NX70 is designed for intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance missions, offering capabilities such as day and night observation (with high-resolution day and thermal cameras), a significant range of up to 5 kilometers (3.1 miles), and an endurance of up to 45 minutes, even in challenging weather conditions.
The NX70’s versatility is further enhanced by its ability to integrate with various “mission pods” for specialized tasks like dropping medical kits or smoke grenades, or for continuous observation via a tethered power supply.
Novadem also offers the NX160, a larger drone with increased payload capacity for more diverse missions, and provides comprehensive training and support services for its combat-proven systems.
