Europe’s only fixed-wing and rotary UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) provider, UMS SKELDAR, has completed delivery and acceptance tests for Indonesia of the SKELDAR V-200 VTOL (Vertical Take-off and Landing) UAV. The deal is the world’s first delivery of the only heavy fuel UAV platform in its class.
World leading designer and manufacturer of high endurance RPAS (Remotely Piloted Aerial Systems), UMS SKELDAR announced today (15-02-2017) its working partnership and the commencement of a training programme contract with the Ministry of Defence (MoD) in Indonesia.
The MoD of the Republic of Indonesia deployed the SKELDAR V-200 as part of performance and acceptance tests during Q4 2016, paving the way for the procurement and pilot training in Indonesia. With the world’s second longest coastlines, the tests and patrol evaluations confirmed the multi-payload and low footprint of the SKELDAR V-200 across land and navy applications.
