## Executive read

### BLUF

Serbia is pairing a domestic strike-capable Pegaz / PEGASUS UAS with an Elbit–Yugoimport factory (51/49) — Control Fabric plus Act, on a non-NATO Passport.

### Key judgments

1. **[Assessment — High confidence]** BIRN/Haaretz (7 April 2026) document an Elbit-majority joint venture with SDPR for short- and long-range drones; Adria Defense (11 August 2026) says Vučić placed opening around mid-September 2026 at Simanovci.
2. **[Assessment — Moderate confidence]** Pegaz/PEGASUS at Partner 2025 is presented as ISR-plus-precision-action with RASH-2M; assembly at Utva / Pančevo.
3. **[Inference — Moderate confidence]** The Elbit line is intended to succeed Pegaz at higher altitude, not merely to add trainers.

### Analytic labels

- **Fact** — verified reporting or primary record
- **Assessment** — analytic judgment
- **Inference** — reasoned but not directly observed
- **Uncertainty** — unresolved information gap

### Source grades

- **A1** — authoritative primary record / directly confirmed
- **B1–B2** — generally reliable and corroborated
- **C3** — useful but requires caution

## Identity

STIX 2.1 Identity + Threat Actor. Values from the open vocabularies only.

| secondary_motivations | dominance |
| goals | Sourced: domestic UAV production; short- and long-range drones with Elbit; Pegaz ISR-strike. Uncertainty: export customers for the new JV. |


## Intent and targeting

**[Fact]** Vučić (March 2026, via BIRN): factory for “serious drones.” **[Fact]** Adria Defense: Croatia and Kosovo have publicly called the rearmament a regional threat; Belgrade denies. **[Assessment]** Intent is a sovereign Sense-to-Act loop and an industrial export option. **[Uncertainty]** Named employment theaters beyond exercises/expos are not established.

## Capability — Sense

**[Fact]** Partner 2025 PEGASUS: ISR, laser designation, artillery correction, BDA (Army Recognition). **[Fact]** Adria Defense: earlier Elbit Hermes-900 purchase. **[Assessment]** Sense spans tactical-medium domestic and imported MALE. **[Uncertainty]** Hermes-900 on-hand status in 2026 is not independently re-confirmed.

## Capability — Move

**[Fact]** Adria Defense on the Partner 2025 Pegaz: 54 kg payload, range beyond 200 km, 10 hours endurance. **[Assessment]** Move is runway tactical-MALE class. **[Uncertainty]** Exact in-service air-vehicle count is not established.

## Capability — Act

**[Fact]** RASH-2M precision-guided mortar rounds named as a Pegaz load; Gavran 145 loitering munition unveiled at EDEX 2025 (Adria Defense). **[Assessment]** Act is designed and exhibited. **[Uncertainty]** Combat employment by SAF is not established in sources used.

## Inventory

| Domain | Status | Named systems (sourced) | Notes |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Air UAS | documented | Pegaz / PEGASUS; Hermes-900 (purchase, Adria Defense); Gavran 145 (unveiled) | Elbit JV types not yet named as fielded |
| Surface USV | not established |  | Collection gap |
| Subsurface UUV / ROV | not established |  | Collection gap |
| C-UAS | not established |  | Collection gap |

## Industrial base and supply chain

**[Fact]** Yugoimport SDPR / Utva Pančevo; Elbit 51% / SDPR remainder at Simanovci (Adria Defense; BIRN). **[Fact]** BIRN: two types planned — rotary-wing short-range strike and a long-range UAV to 6,000 m. **[Assessment]** Control Fabric is the center of gravity. **[Uncertainty]** First serial number from the JV is not established.

## Observed employment

**[Fact]** Expo and political announcement. **[Uncertainty]** Combat sorties not established.

## Relationships

- `attributed-to` — Serbian state / SDPR / Serbian Armed Forces.
- `related-to` — Elbit Systems (JV); Israel (deepening defence trade, BIRN).
- `related-to` — Croatia and Kosovo as political opposers of the buildup (Adria Defense).

## LRRK turn-back

Moves **Sense / Move / Act**, **Control Fabric**, **Passport**, and **Watch** (regional reaction). No public Campaign employment.

## Forward indicators

- Raise: JV opening with a named type; a public SAF Pegaz strike exercise.
- Lower: JV delay past September 2026 without explanation.
- Reclassify: not indicated while Pegaz and the JV remain public.
