The company Terminal Autonomy, formerly known as One Way Aerospace, has announced the successful completion of procurements for the production of long-range unmanned aerial systems AQ 400 Scythe. This was stated in the company's statement.
The company has an initial production capacity of 100 units of AQ 400 Scythe per month. However, it plans to increase this quantity to 500 units in the future. Such a prospect could represent a significant leap in the sphere of strategic capabilities for the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
AQ 400 Scythe is a long-range unmanned aerial vehicle (750 km radius) designed for launch from short takeoff and landing strips or catapults.
It is capable of carrying a payload of up to 32 kg (which can be increased to 70 kg at the expense of reducing the flight range).
Its advantages include rapid assembly, the potential for mass production, and economic efficiency.
Terminal Autonomy strategically established the production of kamikaze drones through a network of smaller enterprises and engineering firms with experience in manufacturing similar weaponry.
Although the company procures certain components from Germany and the United Kingdom, the project's priority is to maximize the localization of production within Ukraine.
