Ukrainian company WingTech unveiled the HABA strike drone during an event held as part of the Defence Builder Accelerator program, highlighting its ability to carry out long-range missions.
In its strike configuration, the aircraft can travel up to 600 kilometers on a one-way flight, while missions involving a return flight have a range of approximately 300 kilometers.
Designed to carry different types of payloads, including warheads, the HABA was developed to strike ammunition depots, fortifications, and other military targets. In addition, the system can also be used to remotely scatter mines in areas located behind enemy forces, increasing its versatility on the battlefield.
The drone operates almost entirely autonomously through Mission Planner software, which makes it possible to program the route, payload release points, and return procedure in advance. Navigation is primarily based on GPS, but if the signal is jammed, the SignLink module takes over guidance using a network of beacons, allowing the mission to continue even without satellite navigation.
Powered by a gasoline engine, the HABA features a lightweight aluminum fuselage and a one-piece wing that houses the electronic systems and fuel tanks. It is launched using a pneumatic catapult, while payload release is controlled by a ballistic computer to improve accuracy. According to WingTech, each drone costs around US$10,000, while the complete system, consisting of three aircraft, a ground control station, and a catapult, is valued at approximately US$32,000.
