Our Birth

From amateurs of aircraft-modelers to developers of the best UAS’s in Ukraine

At the beginning of 2014, the first engineering solution was an aircraft based on a hobby American styrofoam aircraft. Ukrainian army was interested in this aircraft design. It was the beginning of scientific – production enterprise establishment.

On June 6, 2014, Athlon Avia LLC was registered, as a four like-minded people partnership, where everyone took his place.

Summer 2014 – the possibility of using the unmanned aerial vehicle A1C “SIVER” was tested on the base of Chernihiv Scientific and Testing Center of the Armed Forces.

As a result, the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine approved the possibility of using a UAV “A1-C” in the Armed Forces for certain assignments.

Later, in the same 2014, volunteers put forward a specific tactical and technical assignment for the company and in autumn the first UASs were transferred to the National Guard of Ukraine.
