Company Description
Duke Robotics Corp. (OTCQB: DUKR) is an aerospace and defense company focused on advanced stabilization and autonomous robotic drone systems for both civilian and defense markets. According to its public disclosures, the company develops drone-enabled solutions that apply robotic technologies, algorithms, and autonomous systems to mission-critical applications.
A core civilian offering is the Insulator Cleaning Drone (IC Drone), described as a first-of-its-kind robotic, drone-enabled system for cleaning and monitoring high-voltage electric utility insulators. Company materials state that the IC Drone is designed to provide a safer, more efficient, and cost-effective alternative method for maintaining electric utility infrastructure. Duke Robotics has also announced a next-generation Insulator Cleaning Drone System (ICDS2), which it characterizes as a significant technological advancement of its utility maintenance drone solution, building on experience gained from field activities.
In the defense sector, Duke Robotics reports a collaboration agreement with Elbit Systems Land Ltd. ("Elbit"). Under this collaboration, a stabilized weapons drone system is developed and marketed by Elbit under the brand name Bird of Prey (also referred to as "Birds of Prey" and formerly known as TIKAD). Company descriptions present Bird of Prey as an agile, fully stabilized remote weapon system designed for non-line-of-sight and stand-off engagements, intended to enable precise remote operations via an unmanned aerial platform while reducing risk to personnel.
Business focus and activities
Duke Robotics states that it is focused on bringing advanced stabilization and autonomous solutions to both military and civilian sectors. Through its subsidiaries, it has developed technologies that integrate robotic mechanisms, stabilization systems, and autonomous control for aerial platforms. The IC Drone platform is positioned by the company as an aerial system for cleaning, inspection, and monitoring of high-voltage electric utility infrastructure, while the Bird of Prey system is presented as a weaponized drone capability marketed to military, defense, homeland security, and para-military customers in coordination with Elbit.
Public updates from the company describe activities to expand commercialization of the IC Drone technology. These include operations and seasonal IC Drone service activities with the Israel Electric Corporation, the establishment of a wholly owned Greek subsidiary, Duke Robotics Hellas I.K.E., and preparations for IC Drone deployment in additional regions. The company has reported that Duke Robotics Hellas I.K.E. received operational authorization for IC Drone operations from the Hellenic Civil Aviation Authority following completion of the EU-standard Specific Operations Risk Assessment (SORA) process, enabling IC Drone flights as part of its product activities in Greece.
Duke Robotics has also discussed business development efforts aimed at Central Asian markets, referencing diplomatic developments that it believes may support the introduction of its IC Drone technology into new regions. In addition, the company has described a U.S. market readiness program focused on identifying and evaluating drone systems and operators that meet National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) requirements as potential platforms for its IC Drone technology, with the stated goal of aligning its aerial system with regulated, security-sensitive environments.
Revenue sources and collaborations
In its public communications, Duke Robotics identifies two primary commercial directions: IC Drone insulator cleaning activities and royalty revenues from the Bird of Prey stabilized weapons drone system. The company has reported that IC Drone service operations for the Israel Electric Corporation are a key source of recurring revenue and a foundation for expansion through its Greek subsidiary. It has also disclosed that it expects to receive, and has confirmed, initial royalty revenues from sales of the Bird of Prey system under its collaboration agreement with Elbit.
The collaboration agreement with Elbit provides for royalty payments to Duke Robotics from sales of the Bird of Prey system, according to company announcements. The company has also noted an expansion of this collaboration that allows it to market the stabilized weapons drone system to military, defense, homeland security, and para-military customers in coordination with Elbit.
Corporate and capital structure information
Duke Robotics Corp. is incorporated in Nevada, as reflected in its SEC filings. The company’s common stock trades on the OTCQB market under the symbol DUKR. In an 8-K filing, the company reported that it amended its Articles of Incorporation to increase its authorized shares of common stock and to authorize the issuance of preferred stock, indicating flexibility in its capital structure. Another 8-K filing describes a private placement of common stock and warrants with non-U.S. investors, with proceeds stated to be used for working capital and general corporate purposes, including support for operational and commercialization initiatives.
The company has also reported posting investor presentations and issuing corporate updates that outline recent milestones, commercial agreements in the civilian market, and its plans for continued growth across global markets. These materials emphasize its focus on advanced robotics technology, autonomous drone solutions, and the dual civilian–defense nature of its product portfolio.
Geographic footprint and regulatory context
According to SEC filings, Duke Robotics maintains operations in Israel. Company news releases further reference activities in Israel, Greece through Duke Robotics Hellas I.K.E., and initiatives related to potential expansion into Central Asia and preparations for the United States market. The company highlights that IC Drone operations in Greece are subject to authorization by the Hellenic Civil Aviation Authority under the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) regulatory framework, and that U.S. readiness efforts are oriented toward NDAA-compliant platforms and security-sensitive environments.
In its public statements, Duke Robotics links its IC Drone activities to broader themes such as grid resilience and energy-infrastructure security, and it references national and international attention on drone technologies for both commercial and defense applications. However, detailed market share, customer lists beyond those explicitly named, or competitive rankings are not provided in the available materials.
Investment considerations
As an OTCQB-traded aerospace and defense company, Duke Robotics provides investors with exposure to autonomous drone and robotic stabilization technologies applied to both utility infrastructure maintenance and defense-related systems. Public filings and press releases indicate that the company’s financial profile includes revenue from IC Drone service activities and expected or received royalty revenues from Bird of Prey system sales, alongside ongoing research and development and general and administrative expenses.
Prospective investors analyzing DUKR stock may review the company’s SEC filings, including annual and quarterly reports, for detailed financial information, risk factors, and management’s discussion of its operations. Company news releases provide additional context on regulatory authorizations, business development initiatives, collaborations, and capital-raising activities that shape Duke Robotics’ strategic direction in the aerospace and defense technology space.
