Turkish defense companies build drones used for natural disasters
(MENAFN) Turkish defense companies are developing high-capacity drones to support life-saving operations during natural disasters, reflecting the growing role of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in challenging rescue missions, according to reports.
A recent incident in Vietnam highlighted the potential of such technology when a man stranded in the middle of the Srepok River in Cu Jut district was airlifted to safety by a drone after traditional rescue methods failed due to floodwaters and difficult terrain. The UAV, normally used for agricultural purposes, carried the man—its 100-kilogram (220-pound) payload capacity enabling him to reach an accessible location where rescue teams could safely retrieve him.
Turkish firms are producing similar high-capacity cargo drones suited for disaster response. Zyrone Dynamics, Titra Technology, and DASAL are leading the field with systems designed for challenging environments.
Zyrone Dynamics’ ZD360 cargo UAV is a next-generation model capable of performing tasks within a 10-kilometer (6.2-mile) radius while carrying up to 60 kilograms (132 pounds), and it can transport 100 kilograms within a 1-kilometer (0.62-mile) range. Its compact size—roughly a quarter of comparable systems—allows for easy vehicle transport and rapid deployment.
Titra Technology’s Alpin, Türkiye’s first unmanned helicopter, boasts a payload capacity of up to 200 kilograms (440 pounds), including fuel. Its high transport capacity and long endurance make it particularly effective in mountainous regions or areas affected by floods or wildfires.
Meanwhile, DASAL offers the PUHU C75, a cargo UAV capable of carrying up to 75 kilograms (165 pounds), expanding the range of options for disaster response operations. These innovations showcase how Turkish defense technology is increasingly being applied to humanitarian and emergency missions.
