PanARMENIAN.Net - Armenia will be exporting unmanned aerial vehicles
(UAV) to Denmark, the Executive Director of the Union of Information
Technology Enterprises (UITE) said.
According to Karen Vardanyan, the winner of the unmanned aircraft
competition has registered an enterprise to manufacture commercial
drones.
A preliminary agreement stipulates for a monthly production of 10
drones, he noted. The device will be used for agronomic research and
cultivation area surveys.
"This is a major step for Armenia to allow the country to enter the
international drone market as well as find foreign partners to promote
the sector," Vardanyan said, adding that the drone can also be used
for defense purposes as well as to facilitate highway police work.
Krunk is an Armenian unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) in service with
the Armed Forces of Armenia. It is intended for close reconnaissance,
transmitting real-time video data (visual or infrared) or taking
higher resolution still images.
The Krunk was first demonstrated on September 21, 2011 during a
military parade dedicated to the 20th anniversary of the independence
of Armenia.
There are currently 15 Krunk UAVs in the Armenian Armed Forces.
