This page is part of our public exclusion list — a transparency tool that shows which companies we screen out and why. It is not investment advice, and it is not an accusation. But it is subject to change as our understanding of the facts evolves.
Duke Robotics Corp. (formerly UAS Drone Corp., ticker DUKR) is an Israeli military drone company headquartered in Tirat Carmel, Israel, founded in 2014 by Israeli military veterans. The company's flagship product is the TIKAD, an octocopter drone that mounts assault rifles, machine guns, sniper rifles, or grenade launchers. The Israeli military procured TIKAD drones beginning in 2017. In 2021, Duke partnered with Elbit Systems — Israel's largest weapons manufacturer — to globally market, produce, and further develop the TIKAD platform, now branded "Birds of Prey." The system was featured on Israeli Channel 14 News as part of the IDF's drone warfare capabilities during the "Iron Swords" war in Gaza. AFSC Investigate flags Duke Robotics for involvement in occupied territories. The company develops lethal drone systems purpose-built for the Israeli military and deployed in operations in the Occupied Palestinian Territories.

The Naughty List
A digest of changes to our exclusion list — new additions, removals, and the evidence behind them. We review the list continuously as new evidence surfaces.
Companies appear on our exclusion list based on our investment judgment — not because they've done anything illegal. This is a difference of values and opinion, not an accusation of wrongdoing. Exclusion does not constitute a recommendation against investing in any company, and absence from the list does not constitute a recommendation to invest.
