Gremsy wins Blue UAS listing for three NDAA payload products

The three products are sold through Gremsy USA, a member of the Gremsy group. Both payloads are now entered in the Department of War’s register of vetted, secure products that comply with the NDAA.

According to Gremsy, it is the first and only Vietnamese enterprise, and the sole Asia-Pacific company, to satisfy the cybersecurity, supply chain and technical security requirements behind a Blue UAS designation. Gremsy regards the list as the reference standard for drones and parts that Washington has screened.

The cleared products offer electro-optical/infrared and thermal imaging for platforms with tight limits on weight, power and size. They join the VIO F1, which went through the same vetting earlier, and the company says its range of NDAA-compliant payloads is now among the broadest in the unmanned sector.

Gremsy targets OEM drone makers, integrators and commercial operators, with uses spanning intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance, border security, infrastructure inspection and search and rescue. Pre-orders are open through an online form, and demos can be requested from the sales team.

The chief commercial officer of Gremsy JSC, Jay Huynh, says supply chain sovereignty has stopped being an optional compliance item in the dual-use market. He presents the clearance as a step toward making Vietnam a trusted source of high-consequence technology on the world stage.

Why it matters

DCMA runs the Blue UAS list, which acts as a gate for hardware that US defence and federal customers buy. For OEMs building aircraft to NDAA rules, each cleared payload is one more imaging component that meets the requirement.

In Gremsy’s words, compliance with the NDAA eliminates cyber exposure and supply chain links that are not trusted. The company adds that the clearance reassures commercial operators, public safety agencies and allied forces about product integrity and regulatory alignment.
