Global Ordnance and ARQUIMEA Sign Teaming Agreement to Expand Drone and Counter-Drone Capabilities for U.S. Forces

With capacity to produce up to 1,000 drones a month, ARQUIMEA broadens reach to U.S. defense customers through Global Ordnance

 SARASOTA, Fla. – (Nov. 12, 2026) – Global Ordnance Holdings, a U.S.-owned defense company, and ARQUIMEA USA, the U.S. subsidiary of global technology company ARQUIMEA, have signed a teaming agreement to expand the unmanned and counter-unmanned systems available to U.S. and allied forces. Under the agreement, ARQUIMEA USA will manufacture the systems, and Global Ordnance Holdings will serve as the prime contractor to the U.S. Department of War, leading contracting, program management and delivery.

“Drones have fundamentally changed modern warfare, and demand for affordable autonomous systems is outpacing what any single supplier can deliver,” said Marc Morales, CEO, Global Ordnance. “ARQUIMEA’s field-ready systems and production capacity expand what we can deliver to U.S. forces and our allies, in the air and at sea.”

ARQUIMEA’s systems join Global Ordnance’s existing UAS and C-UAS offerings, adding new options for aerial and maritime defense.

ARQUIMEA’s unmanned systems portfolio brings together field-ready aerial capabilities and technologies for maritime operations. Its Q-SLAM family of intelligent loitering munition systems supports reconnaissance, target acquisition and precision-strike missions, complemented by C-UAS solutions based on autonomous interceptors and portable radio-frequency equipment. At sea, the WISE family and KRONOS family are ARQUIMEA’s autonomous underwater vehicle and unmanned surface vehicle solutions for naval operations.

“For more than 20 years, ARQUIMEA has developed capabilities for defense customers internationally. We’re ready to bring those solutions to American forces as well,” said Fermin Olivan, CEO, ARQUIMEA USA. “Global Ordnance knows how to deliver for American warfighters, and together, we can more efficiently provide our AI-enabled systems to the units that need them.”

ARQUIMEA recently expanded production capacity, adding more than 129,000 square feet of new manufacturing space dedicated to high-volume production of its proven unmanned and C-UAS solutions. The teaming agreement will leverage that increase in capacity and further allow the companies to meet increased demand from the U.S. military.
