Zurich, Switzerland / May 28, 2026 — Fotokite today announced a partnership with Stridar, a Colorado-based dual-use company developing modular unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) platforms for forward-deployed, distributed operations.
The partnership brings together Fotokite’s actively tethered aerial situational awareness technology with Stridar’s unmanned ground vehicle platform to support teams operating at the tactical edge. Together, the companies aim to help defense, public safety, and enterprise teams extend sensing, maintain communications, and deploy mission-ready payloads without expanding force structure.
Stridar’s modular UGV platform is designed to support distributed operations where mobility, persistence, and adaptability are critical. By integrating complementary unmanned systems, Fotokite and Stridar are working to enhance operational visibility, improve communications resilience, and support faster decision-making in complex environments.
“Persistent situational awareness is becoming essential for teams operating in dynamic and distributed environments,” said Cody Lockwood, Chief Revenue Officer at Fotokite. “Partnering with Stridar allows us to explore new ways to extend aerial visibility and mission support at the tactical edge.”
The partnership reflects Fotokite’s continued focus on delivering simple, reliable, and scalable unmanned solutions for mission-critical operations across defense, public safety, and enterprise markets.
