On the occasion of the 2024 edition of theAzerbaijan International Defense Exhibition (ADEX), which was held at Baku, innovations in defense drones have captivated the attention of experts and enthusiasts. Azerbaijani society Deftech demonstrated winged unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) tandem, unveiling promising models such as DT-001 And DT-101. These modern systems offer impressive technical performances and foreshadow the future of the Azerbaijani defense industry, with the development of cutting-edge military technologies.
At the international defense exhibition ADEX 2024, which was held in Baku from September 24 to 26, the Azerbaijani society Deftech has unveiled two versions of its tandem-wing unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), the DT-001 And DT-101. The first flight tests of these drones, equipped with innovative capabilities such as VTOL for the DT-101 and the gasoline and electric engine propulsion, aroused great interest. Anar Iskandarov, co-founder of Deftech, said the company plans to launch these products on the market by 2025, after successful testing. With a maximum takeoff weight of between 75 and 120 kg and an impressive endurance of 5 to 10 hours, these drones are designed to adapt to various operational scenarios, thereby strengthening Azerbaijan’s defense potential.
During the ADEX 2024 international defense exhibition held in Baku from September 24 to 26, Azerbaijani society Deftech presented its tandem wing drones. These technological innovations aim to strengthen the country’s defense capabilities and position itself on the global market for security systems. military drones. With models such as the DT-001 and the DT-101, the company aspires to deliver advanced capabilities and extended endurance during missions. The exhibition also saw the demonstration of in-flight munitions, demonstrating Azerbaijan’s commitment to the modernization of its forces.
The DT-001 and DT-101 models: technical characteristics
The DT-001 is powered by a 360 cc gasoline engine, offering unprecedented mission flexibility. On the other hand, the version VTOL DT-101 is equipped with a smaller 180 cc engine, but benefits from additional electric motors for the rotors placed under each wing. These advances allow optimal use in various landing and takeoff conditions. Both drone models have a maximum takeoff weight of between 75 and 120 kg, and can reach a cruising altitude of 3,000 to 5,000 m depending on their configuration.
Towards sustainable and innovative production
Deftech is committed to maximizing the production of its flagship drones, with the objective of marketing them by 2025. The current state of progress of these systems, already tested for more than a year, paves the way for of the mass operations. Regarding the in-flight ammunition, Deftech offers a range of ammunition from loitering which tests its capabilities during flight tests. This integrated approach represents a major breakthrough for the military drone sector in Azerbaijan, helping to raise the country’s technological level on the scene international.
