Atlas6Labs is a Ukraine-based research and development initiative founded by AdlerAerospace, Hecto Drones, and Sky Assist. Our mission is to rapidly design, test, and deploy mission-specific variants of the Atlas6 UAV platform in response to real battlefield needs.

Atlas6Labs is a joint effort by:

  • AdlerAerospace (USA/Poland): International integrator and commercialization leader of advanced UAV technologies

  • Hecto Drones (Denmark): Original developer of the Atlas6 airframe and propulsion system

  • Sky Assist (Ukraine): Leading developer of ISR drones for the Armed Forces of Ukraine

Unlike traditional drone R&D programs, Atlas6Labs operates directly in Ukraine with access to battlefield feedback, combat-proven systems, and rapid prototyping. We close the loop between development and deployment faster than conventional defense contractors.

Current Atlas6 variants include:

  • ISR – Intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance with EO/IR sensors

  • Mothership – Mid-air launcher and coordinator for FPV drone swarms

  • Shield – Electronic warfare and counter-UAS system

  • Lift – Tactical resupply and logistics transport

  • SAR – Search and rescue with thermal imaging and payload drop capability


Yes. We work directly with Ukrainian defense units, engineering teams, and procurement officials to field-test new variants, integrate emerging technologies, and ensure our solutions are combat-relevant.

Absolutely. Atlas6Labs technologies are developed with NATO interoperability in mind, and we actively collaborate with partners across Europe, North America, and other allied nations.

Our primary R&D operations are located in Ukraine, with supporting offices and manufacturing infrastructure in Poland and Denmark.
