About this report
FireDrone AG is a Swiss deep-tech startup spun out of the Swiss Federal Materials Lab (Empa) specializing in unmanned aerial systems for extreme environments . Founded in 2025 and headquartered in Dübendorf, Switzerland , its flagship UAV is designed to enter high-temperature zones (up to 200 °C) to deliver live hazard data to operators .

We focus on strategic-autonomy themes (reducing reliance on non-EU suppliers), NATO/EU interoperability (multidomain ISR support), deterrence (enhancing collective emergency response), and transatlantic alignment (tech sharing vs. sovereignty).
