Agreement secures European–made BLDC Drone Motors from Poland—strengthening supply–chain resilience and improving thrust–to–weight performance
KRAKOW, Poland, Oct. 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — DefendEye today announced it has signed an agreement to source its drone propulsion motors exclusively from EU Motors, a Poland–based manufacturer of high–performance BLDC motors. The agreement supports DefendEye’s transition to NDAA–aligned manufacturing and sourcing, while consolidating propulsion performance and reliability across the company’s autonomous search–and–rescue platforms.
“We are thrilled to source European–made motors for our drones,” said Alina Bredovska, Director of Operations at DefendEye. “This simplifies the complex challenge of relying on motors from China—especially when political factors make imports uncertain. Buying from EU Motors also gives us a superior motor with more thrust, less weight, and significantly greater reliability than the Chinese motor we used previously.”
“We are very excited to work with DefendEye and to see our Polish–made BLDC drone motors powering fully autonomous search drones,” said Michael Berger, CEO of EU Motors. “We take pride in our quality and believe that using our motors will increase the reliability of a drone designed to save lives.”
Sourcing from Poland—a NATO member nation—advances DefendEye’s push toward NDAA–compliant supply chains for critical components. The exclusive arrangement streamlines qualification, integration, and lifecycle support, while providing performance headroom for future payloads and endurance upgrades.
Key benefits of the agreement
- NDAA–aligned sourcing: Moves motor procurement to a trusted European manufacturing base.
- Performance gains: Higher thrust, lower mass, and improved reliability versus prior components.
- Supply–chain resilience: Reduces exposure to import volatility and export controls.
- Integration acceleration: Single, standardized propulsion family across DefendEye platforms.
