Parrot SA
Paris drone maker founded 1994 by Henri Seydoux, listed on Euronext Paris; ANAFI series drones serve defense, inspection, and mapping customers worldwide.
Parrot SA is a French drone manufacturer founded in 1994 by Henri Seydoux, who remains chairman and chief executive, headquartered in Paris. After early ventures in automotive Bluetooth hardware and consumer drones, the company narrowed its focus in 2017 to professional and defense drones. Parrot is listed on Euronext Paris (PARRO), employs more than 400 people, and reported EUR 78 million in revenue for 2024, with subsidiaries across eight countries, including the US and South Korea.
The ANAFI family of folding drones anchors the product line. ANAFI Ai uses 4G LTE as its primary data link across more than 28 frequency bands, switches between cellular and Wi-Fi in flight, and carries a 48-megapixel sensor recording 4K HDR10 video for about 32 minutes per battery, with photogrammetry reaching 0.46 cm per pixel ground sampling distance from 30 meters altitude. ANAFI USA, built for government, military, and public-safety users under NDAA rules, pairs dual 21-megapixel zoom cameras with a FLIR Boson thermal sensor and an AES-256 radio link; both the US Department of Defense and the French armed forces have ordered it. ANAFI UKR, unveiled at the 2025 Paris Air Show, adds visual-inertial odometry and satellite image matching for GPS-denied flight, a 35x zoom daylight camera, a thermal imager, and up to 50 minutes of flight time, under a multi-year European Defence Fund contract.
