Catch the Wind: Everblue Technologies Unveils Glider-Type UAV Aiming for Persistent Flight at Japan Drone 2026

Everblue Technologies (Headquarters: Chofu, Tokyo; CEO: Tsuneaki Noma) will exhibit at 'Japan Drone 2026,' showcasing its domestically developed and manufactured UGVs (Unmanned Ground Vehicles) and newly developed UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles).

The company's philosophy consistently emphasizes the utilization of natural energy and high efficiency rather than relying on massive power consumption.

Since 2018, the company has been developing low-energy consumption technologies, starting with wind-powered USVs (Unmanned Surface Vehicles). Subsequently, it launched small electric UGVs, such as the 'Snow Removal Drone®,' born from the harsh snowy environment of Hokkaido. The glider-type UAV being exhibited as a reference model also stems from this same philosophy.

Taking low-energy consumption technology from the sea to the land and the sky.

Everblue Technologies aims to realize drones that operate in harmony with nature—utilizing wind, updrafts, gliding, sailing, and solar power—rather than relying solely on electrification and automation.

In line with this, the company is advancing development with a focus on 'dual-use' applications for disaster prevention, security, and infrastructure inspection, as well as strengthening its supply chain and domestic production system.

[Exhibition Highlights]
■ UGV Series
Showcasing the UGV platform born in Hokkaido's severe winter environment, including the MFD-F22 series (custom-made for Kajima Corporation) and various options like dump and grass-cutting attachments.

■ UAV Series
Exhibiting a concept model of a glider-type UAV aiming for 'persistent flight.' Unlike traditional multi-copters that consume high power, this UAV aims for long-duration flight by utilizing solar, wind, and gliding energy.

■ USV Series
Providing custom-made USV development for ports, dams, rivers, and coastal surveillance, leveraging automated navigation technology developed since 2018.
