PRESS RELEASE

U.S. subsidiary ACSL, Inc. Signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for Strategic Partnership with Cyberhawk Inc.

  • ACSL, Inc. has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Cyberhawk Inc, for a strategic partnership to further accelerate sales and market development in the U.S. market.
  • Cyberhawk is providing drone inspection services to power, oil and gas customers and others over 40 countries worldwide.

ACSL Ltd. (ACSL) hereby announces that ACSL, Inc., our U.S. subsidiary, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Texas-based Cyberhawk Inc, (Cyberhawk), on October 29, 2024, local time, for a strategic partnership to promote the implementation and utilization of drones in critical infrastructure industries in the U.S. market.

 

■Reason and details of the MOU
Policies related to economic security and environmental considerations are accelerating in the global drone market. In the U.S., the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) prohibits government procurement of Russian and Chinese drones. In addition, DJI, Chinese drone manufacturer, has been designated by the U.S. Department of Defense as a “China Military Enterprise” from October 2022. In this market environment, ACSL believes that it is possible to formulate a positioning based on the keywords “economic security”, “enterprise support”, and “application-specific”.

Against this background, ACSL established a U.S. subsidiary, ACSL, Inc. in California in January 2023 to meet the growing demand for secure, versatile, and high-performance small aerial drones, and in December, ACSL, Inc. delivered 50 SOTEN drones*1. Furthermore, in January 2024, ACSL, Inc. began full-scale sales in the U.S.*2 and in October 2024, we received an order for 500 SOTEN drones from our distributor, Exertis Almo. *3.

Cyberhawk is a company providing drone services in power, oil and gas, and other industry sectors. Cyberhawk provides drone services such as facility inspections in more than 100,000 cases per year in 40 countries worldwide.

ACSL, Inc. and Cyberhawk recognize each other’s strengths and expertise in their respective industries and the benefits of a strategic partnership in leveraging those respective strengths and expertise in facilitating the further adoption and use of drone technology in critical infrastructure industries.
