On the military side, it offers a) “Themis”, it’s (hybrid-powered) “base platform” (1.6ton weight, 750kg payload, 20km/h max speed, 15h runtime) which can be used for logistics (carrying supplies & equipment), combat (direct & indirect fire support - light or heavy machine guns, 40mm grenade launchers, 30mm autocannons & anti-tank missile systems), as well as intelligence, surveillance & target acquisition (ISR) (drones, sensors – radar, rf detector, jammer, lasers), b) “Type-X”, basically a beefed up version of “Themis” (12ton weight, 4.1ton payload, 80km/h max speed, runtime not disclosed), mainly for combat e.g. as a wingman/ direct or indirect support to main battle...

Bulgaria-based, Dronamics is building “The Black Swan” (TBS), a new fixed-wing cargo drone. It is remotely piloted, fuel-efficient, and suitable for a longer ranges (think cross-country or intercity transport between main gateways or warehouses, “anything >300km is not appropriate for us”) & higher load factors than electric solutions. “Most small delivery drones are an attempt to solve the last-mile problem; they’re the bike messenger, TBS is the cross-country truck”. With a wingspan of 16m & fuselage of 8m, TBS can carry 350kg in a 3.5cbm hold (same stats as a small delivery van) (specifically designed to fit cargo pallets, with temperature-control being developed), at 125kmh for distances up to 2,500km (that’s all of Europe), for...
