The first export of the UAV developed by GTU Teknopark company Fly Bvlos Technology in cooperation with Maxwell Innovations was performed.
With the agreement between Fly Bvlos Technology and the British Flyby Technology, the sale of the Turkish UAV to the UK was realized.
Under the agreement, Britain will be taking delivery of 5 UAVs from Turkey.
The Jackal, which has a special design and new software, will be usable in cargo and logistics departments.
Jackal can perform take-offs and landings without needing any airfield thanks to its "VTOL" feature.
The UAV is planned to fly under heavy weather conditions and any other circumstances in operations such as humanitarian aid, monitoring and observing, or data logistics.
