One of the largest Ukrainian manufacturers of FPV drones, TAF Industries, is changing its strategy and is heading towards diversifying its products. According to the company's CEO Volodymyr Zinovsky for Forbes Ukraine, it is currently considering entering new high-tech niches, including the creation of drones for deep strikes behind enemy lines.
The company does not plan to start developing long-range strike drones from scratch, but is negotiating mergers and acquisitions with teams whose concepts are already at the testing or validation stage.
TAF Industries aims to bring to market a product with a unique selling proposition, which is being developed taking into account comments from future users and will be significantly cheaper than existing analogues with similar powerful tactical and technical characteristics.
"Expanding the product line increases our investment attractiveness. Deepstrike is one of the products that can be discussed with foreigners when they are interested in the company," said Volodymyr Zinovsky.
The estimated cost of one aircraft will be about $150,000. The manufacturer is ready to allocate more than half a million dollars for the initial testing of a minimum batch of five aircraft alone. This project is considered a long-term investment with the prospect of finalization in about a year.
In addition to deep strike solutions, Zinovsky reported that TAF Industries plans to enter the niche of ground robotic complexes.
Previously, TAF Industries announced the launch of a joint venture in Germany with its partner Wingcopter and is simultaneously preparing an intergovernmental agreement that will allow exporting some components for final assembly to the EU.
