The confirmation was made during the World Defense Show 2026 in Riyadh, where company representatives stated that the first units began to be delivered about three months ago.
Among the supplied models is the BVH616 (HEIFU PRO), a hexacopter developed according to NATO standards and prepared to operate in adverse environments, including under electronic interference. The equipment can fly for up to 60 minutes while carrying 3.5 kg and uses artificial intelligence algorithms to ensure stability and communication redundancy.
Another highlight is the BVQ418, a quadcopter with an autonomy of up to 90 minutes and a payload capacity between 6 and 7 kg, as well as the BVT516 (VTOne), a hybrid drone that combines vertical takeoff with extended fixed-wing flight, reaching 150 minutes of operation and a maximum speed of 120 km/h. The latter is mainly aimed at reconnaissance and mapping missions, featuring a modular system for quick sensor replacement.
The company also presented additional projects, such as the First Responder Drone, created for use in emergency vehicles in the United States, and a concept of an underwater transporter capable of operating six to eight autonomous drones. At the same time, the company is negotiating with Ukrainian partners to integrate local technologies, including acoustic systems and electronic warfare solutions, expanding technological cooperation in the defense sector.
