The Russia-Ukraine conflict has driven another stage of evolution for drones and the counter measures to defend against them.
DDC to develop 400lbs cargo delivery UAS
Drone Delivery Canada (DDC) has commenced the development of a new cargo delivery UAS, the Condor, with a payload lifting capability estimated at 400lbs.
The Condor is being designed to fly approximately 150km carrying pallet size payload shipments up to 400lbs.
The UAS will be fully integrated with the DDC’s FLYTE management system.
Tony Di Benedetto, CEO, DDC, said: ‘Our engineering team is focused on building out our fleet to provide UAS capable of addressing a wide range of client requirements in different geographies.
'The Condor will be our first delivery UAS that offers our customers a platform for greater capacities of bulk shipments. We continue to push the envelope advancing our fleet's capabilities to meet and exceed client requirements in Northern Canada and elsewhere around the world.’
DDC will begin testing the Condor in late 2018.
