Like in StarCraft: a modular factory has been created in the Czech Republic that produces UAVs in the combat zone
The Czech startup 3DFENSE demonstrated a modular production complex for the production of strike drones in conditions of complete autonomy at the MSPO exhibition in Kielce, Poland. This is reported by Militarnyi.
The new product is built on the basis of standard sea containers and is designed for rapid production of UAVs directly in the combat zone. This allows avoiding problems with logistics and adapting drones to a specific task.
This is what the containers look like from the inside
The mobile production complex includes P30 production modules, an S200 warehouse and an F5 control module, where drone operators are located. It is noted that one P30 module is capable of producing up to 200 drones per month. The basic configuration includes eight P30s in combination with one S200 and F5. This allows for the production of up to 1,600 UAVs per month. 3D printing of fuselages is used for production.
Currently, there are three "wing" type UAVs that are available by default:
- D-18 IRON is a compact drone with vertical takeoff and landing, a pusher propeller, and a flight range of up to 70 km.
- The D-20 Personal Eagle II is a light reconnaissance and strike aircraft that can fly up to 170 km.
- D-22 IRON is a large drone with an increased combat load and a range of up to 360 km.
It is also noted that 200 units per month is the production of the D-18. The D-20 version can be produced in a volume of up to 120 units per month per one P30 module, while the D-22 can only produce 80 per month. In addition, the publication reported that the drones can operate within a radius of 80 kilometers and carry a warhead weighing up to 850 grams or 1350 grams for the D-22.
The developers emphasize that the company provides all the necessary elements for the production of UAVs, and one drone costs "thousands" of euros.
Previously, Ukrainian Fire Point presented a strike drone in Poland that flies 200 km, and also announced the FP-7 and FP-9 ballistic missiles.
And in the spring, the FP-1 drone was presented. At that time, it was reported that it was designed to defeat the enemy at strategic depth. The UAV is capable of carrying a warhead of up to 120 kg and flying at a distance of up to 1,600 km.
