HALCON demonstrated the capabilities of its unmanned aerial vehicles on the first day of the Unmanned Systems Exhibition and Conference (UMEX) in Abu Dhabi.
A group of drones can use artificial intelligence technology to exchange information with each other and fly in a steady formation towards their target, said HALCON CEO Saeed Al Mansouri.
“Once a target is identified, a decision is made among the swarm and based on the size, shape, and category of the target, they decide how many drones are needed to destroy the target, like two, four, or five, and then they start approaching that,” Al said. Mansouri.
Al Mansoori added that the swarm can attack both static and moving targets, as well as carry out complex missions.
“The drones are equipped to operate at mission-successful cruise speeds, with significant communication range and healthy flight duration. Winged drones with a wingspan of 1.44 m and a length of 1.25 m can be deployed in seconds,” the company said in a press release.
HALCON is part of the EDGE group, a conglomerate that is the main defense technology manufacturer in the UAE. Al Mansouri added that HALCON will enter all "arms sectors", covering land, air, and sea.
The swarm is launched from a launcher with 21 tube guides. Their maximum takeoff weight is 7.7 kilograms. The developers say that the ammunition can share information with each other and fly in a stable formation.
