“This product is already used by the Turkish army. The UAV is able to fly up to 20,000 feet and carry a 200-kilogram payload. It is also equipped with cameras and sensors,” said Kotil today in Bandung. 

Dirgantara Indonesia Production Director Arie Wibowo said that one of the difficulties in developing a UAV is related to the fuselage composite technology. “TAI has mastered composite materials considering that they are the supplier for Airbus and fighter jets,” said Arie.
