Standard payload – gyrostabilized daytime ССD – camera.
Main advantages
The main advantage of the NAU PC-08 is its small size in the transportation position, as well as the high level of maintenance in the field. The samples of NAU PC-08 were supplied the force structures of Ukraine in the ATO zone in 2014. The world’s analogues of this UAV are: Aeryon (Canada) and AR-100B (Germany).
Intellectual property protection status
We received 4 patents of Ukraine for utility models. Appropriate NAU PC-08 certification procedures to be considered as an aircraft for civil aviation, are being conducted.
Demand on the market
The market for the project is global. There are quite a lot of models of multicopters on the market, a large number of which are intended for amateur use and can not be used in civil aviation. With the acquiring of a NAU PC-08 type certificate, it may be needed in the amount of 500-1000 units for the Ukrainian market and in the amount of 1000 to 5000 for the world market.
The state of readiness
Stage of implementation: experimental operation, procedures for obtaining a type of aircraft certificate in the SAS of Ukraine.
