MDP DEFENCE · UAS TEST & TRAINING SUPPORT
Realistic drone threats for your C-UAS tests.
We build and fly threat-representative target aircraft, so European counter-UAS developers can test, tune and demonstrate their systems against the threats they are built for.

4+ years of FPV flight experience
Platforms built and maintained in-house
On site at your test range
Unarmed. Test and training only.
You build the defence. We fly the threat.
Most C-UAS teams are experts in radar, RF detection, EO/IR or interception. Building and flying the attack side is a different craft.
A test against an off-the-shelf camera drone says little about how your system handles a fast FPV or a one-way attack profile. We close that gap with our own aircraft and experienced FPV pilots.
01
What we do
Target flights for tests
We bring aircraft and crew to your test site and fly what your system needs to see: approaches, fly-bys, low-level and evasive runs, repeated as often as required.
02
Demo flight partner in Germany
Live demonstrations for your customers: pilots, target drones and flight preparation under German and EU rules, so your team can focus on the system.
03
Custom target platforms
Built or modified to your requirements: size, speed, radio link, 3D-printed airframes, payload mounts.
Target platforms
Two threat classes in service today, more in preparation. All flown manually by the same crew.
Shahed-type fixed-wing replica
Large-profile fixed-wing target
- 3D-printed airframe, approx. 1:3 scale
- Built and repaired in-house
- First airframe flying, second in build
High-speed FPV
Small, fast and agile multirotor target
- HGLRC airframes
- TBS Crossfire control link, analogue video
- Box launch
10-inch FPV class
Larger multirotor in the typical strike-FPV size
- 10-inch airframes
- [ELRS / TBS Crossfire] control link, [analogue / digital] video
- Same airframe class as our fibre-optic target – for direct RF vs. RF-silent comparison
Fibre-optic FPV
RF-silent target: no radio link to detect or jam
- In preparation
- Available on request
From first call to first sortie
1
Brief
Tell us about your system, your test goals and your site. NDA first, if you prefer.
2
Plan
We propose platforms and flight profiles and check airspace and permissions for the location.
3
Fly
A crew of two on site, repeated runs through the day, debrief at the end.
COMPLIANCE
Safe, legal, unarmed
✔ EU remote pilot competency A1/A3 and A2 held by all pilots

Planning a test campaign?
Tell us what your system should see. We come back with a proposal for platforms, profiles and dates.
Built and flown by the same hands.
MDP Defence is run by Robin and Darian Trujillo Meyer – based in Lower Saxony, working wherever your test range is.
