Aerodata AG has announced that final assembly of AeroForce X prototype has been successfully completed. With this development step, the unmanned aircraft system has reached an important milestone and is moving on to the next phase as scheduled. The prototype’s first flight is scheduled to take place in Germany this year.
“This milestone takes AeroForce X a huge step closer to operational reality,”
explains Ole Vörsmann, General Manager for Unmanned Systems.
“Now that final assembly has been successfully completed, we look forward to thoroughly testing the prototype during the upcoming test phases.”
The MALE-class (Medium Altitude Long Endurance) unmanned aircraft system stands out in particular for its long endurance of up to 40 hours and a payload capacity of up to 1,300 kg.
Thanks to its modular platform design, AeroForce X can be flexibly configured and deployed in combination with existing manned reconnaissance aircraft for a wide range of missions.
