The announcement was made during the World Defense Show 2026 in Riyadh, where a company representative explained that the first aircraft began being delivered about three months ago.
Among the models offered is the hexacopter BVH616 (HEIFU PRO), developed according to NATO standards and capable of operating in harsh environments, including under electronic jamming. The aircraft can fly for up to 60 minutes with a payload of 3.5 kg and uses artificial intelligence algorithms to ensure stability and communication redundancy.
Another notable model is the BVQ418, a quadcopter with a range of up to 90 minutes and a payload capacity of 6-7 kg. Furthermore, the BVT516 (VTOne) is a hybrid drone that combines vertical takeoff and fixed-wing long-range flight, reaching an operating time of up to 150 minutes and a maximum speed of 120km/h. The aircraft is primarily intended for reconnaissance and mapping missions and features a modular system that allows for rapid sensor replacement.
The company also announced additional projects, including the First Responder Drone, developed for emergency vehicles in the United States, and a concept for an underwater vehicle capable of operating six to eight autonomous drones. At the same time, we are expanding technical cooperation in the defense sector, negotiating with Ukrainian partners on the integration of local technologies, including acoustic systems and electronic warfare solutions.
