Project35

Project35 (also styled Project 35) is an Israeli company that designs and manufactures unmanned aerial systems (UAS) for defense, government, and industrial customers. The company's product portfolio spans more than ten UAV platforms, including multirotor logistics and cargo drones built to carry supplies into contested or hard-to-reach areas, fixed-wing VTOL (vertical take-off and landing) aircraft for longer-range missions, and tactical first-person-view (FPV) systems used for close-range reconnaissance and strike roles. Alongside complete aircraft, Project35 supplies aviation components such as motors, flight controllers, airframes, and sensors, positioning it as both a systems manufacturer and a components supplier to other integrators in the UAV supply chain.

A core part of the company's offering is counter-UAS (C-UAS) technology, aimed at detecting and neutralizing hostile drones, reflecting the broader shift in Israeli defense-tech toward asymmetric aerial threats. Project35's systems are described as NDAA (National Defense Authorization Act) compliant and Blue UAS certified, a U.S. Department of Defense drone-approval program that vets suppliers for cybersecurity and manufacturing-origin requirements; this certification path indicates the company is positioning its aircraft for sale into U.S. government and allied-nation procurement channels, not only the Israeli market. The company also states its systems use military-grade AES-256 encryption and an "ICE" cybersecurity suite to protect UAV command links and data.

Project35 describes itself as having "5+ years in operation," placing its founding in the early-to-mid 2020s, though an exact founding date is not published on its website. In July 2026, Israeli defense company T3 Defense acquired a 60% stake in Project35, a transaction that signaled consolidation in Israel's fast-growing tactical drone and counter-drone sector and gave Project35 access to a larger corporate parent for scaling production and international sales.

The company's customer base centers on military, government, and industrial buyers who require rugged, mission-configurable aircraft rather than commercial-off-the-shelf consumer drones. Its ground control systems are built to operate alongside its aircraft platforms, letting operators plan missions, monitor telemetry, and manage payloads across the fleet of logistics, ISR, and strike-oriented UAVs. Contact for the company is handled through [email protected], with additional inquiries routed to a named tactical lead and an admin/procurement contact, both reachable via Israeli (+972) phone numbers, consistent with the company's Israel headquarters.

Because Project35 operates in the defense and government supply sector, most technical specifications (payload capacity, range, endurance) are provided to qualified customers rather than published openly, which is typical for tactical UAV manufacturers serving military end users. Its combination of complete airframes, individual components, and counter-drone capability differentiates it from single-product drone makers, and its recent partial acquisition by T3 Defense marks a transition from an independent startup toward part of a larger defense-industrial group.
