These drones, capable of speeds up to 110 km/h and with a 10-hour autonomy, were developed by the company XMOBOTS, which also trained 21 Brazilian military personnel to operate them.
The foundation for this future weaponry is the Nauru 1000C, a drone specially commissioned for the Army, designed for surveillance and defense missions along Brazil’s borders.
