EXEDY joins Morita firefighting-drone research programme
EXEDY joined Morita Holdings’ government-selected programme to advance a domestically produced water-spraying firefighting drone toward operational use in Japan.
Evidence notes
- EXEDY is providing the drone-development platform while Morita contributes firefighting-system and operating expertise.
- Earlier testing validated stable flight during water discharge and compatibility with Morita’s compressed-air-foam system.
- The current milestone is continued government-backed research and validation, not commercial deployment.
