During theADEX 2024, held in Baku, the Azerbaijani society Deftech revealed a new generation of drones which illustrates local expertise in aerial technology. These unmanned aerial systems, designed for missions of acknowledgement andattack, have attracted keen interest thanks to their advanced capabilities and design based on local technologies. These innovations demonstrate Azerbaijan’s international ambitions in the military drone market, meeting growing demand on the global stage.
During theADEX 2024, Azerbaijani society Deftech presented a new generation of drones advanced, arousing keen interest among participants. These unmanned aerial systems, such as the DT-001 and the DT-101, are designed for missions of acknowledgement andprecision attack. Approximately 90% of their production relies on local technologies, highlighting Azerbaijan’s growing industrial capacity. Models revealed also include attack drones F-1500 And F-5000E, adapted to hostile environments. The enthusiasm for these innovations demonstrates the country’s ambition to position itself on the international drone market.
Deftech of Azerbaijan unveils its new generation of drones at ADEX 2024
At ADEX 2024, Azerbaijani company Deftech attracted attention with the presentation of its new range of drones at the cutting edge of technology. These unmanned aerial systems (UAV) are the result of a local development process, highlighting the skills of Azerbaijani engineers. The DT-001 and DT-101 models were the focus of the exhibition, demonstrating advanced capabilities in reconnaissance and attack missions. Around 90% of the production of these drones uses local technologies, illustrating an ambition for industrial autonomy.
Impressive technical specifications
The models presented, such as the DT-101 VTOL, have remarkable technical characteristics. This drone weighs between 55 and 75 kg, with a wingspan of 3.6 meters, demonstrating a increased endurance capacity. Powered by electric motors and a thermal engine, it has the capacity to climb up to 5,000 meters in altitude. Advanced camera systems, including electro-optical cameras, are integrated for surveillance missions. The DT-001 models, on the other hand, are armed drones capable of carrying munitions for attack purposes, with a maximum takeoff weight of 120 kg, making them versatile solutions in the field.
A strategic issue for Azerbaijan
The development of these drones is part of a broader strategic framework, where Azerbaijan seeks to strengthen its position in the international UAV market. The growing interest of foreign countries to import these systems testifies to Azerbaijan’s growing reputation in the field of defense technology. Following the extensive use of drones during the 44-day conflict, the demand for these systems increased significantly. Thus, during ADEX 2024, delegates showed keen interest in establishing partnerships around these advanced technologies.
