Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPASs) represent a promising but at the same time dangerous field of research, development and innovation (R+D+I). Therefore it has essential importance to operate them in line with the current legal and safety regulations and with licences. MoD ED Co. Ltd. possesses the allowances for UAV development, construction, operation handling, training and type-certification for military UAV.
Our Company offers individual, customized solutions for military, public administration and civil clients by means of knowledge and experience gained during UAV development. The essence of our concept is to build UAVs suitable for specific activity-systems complying with modern technological and quality requirements, involving national resources to the greatest extent possible. The complex system includes the unmanned aerial vehicle, the ground control panel, the data-transfer system and the operation/control softwares.
UAV development scopes:
1. Reconnaissance and surveillance UAVs
R-01 NEMERE Reconnaissance and surveillance UAV system

XS-01 ORKAN Surveillance and remote sensing UAV system

Reconnaissance and surveillance UAV Ground Control Panels

R-01 NEMERE Reconnaissance and surveillance UAV system



The R-01 NEMERE reconnaissance/surveillance UAV is suitable for military and public service (disaster relief, police, border security, tax and customs administration) missions. It is able to identify, observe and track persons, vehicles and objects from an altitude of 300-400 meters. Its payload contains of a high-resolution, stabilized camera with zoom and day and night (thermo) viewing functions, remotely controlled from the ground panel. The UAV starts by a bungee and lands with a parachute.
Main technical features
- Propulsion: electric motor
- Net weight of the aircraft: 5-7 kg
- Wingspan: 2.3 m
- Maximum altitude of flight: 2000 m
- Minimum/maximum speed: 60/100 km/h
- Range: 15-20 km
- Maximum flight time: 90 min
- Guidance: remote control and autopilot (programmed flight route, camera control, loitering, waypoint flight, immediate return to base etc.)
XS-01 ORKAN Surveillance and remote sensing UAV system



The versatile XS-01 ORKAN Surveillance and remote sensing UAV is inter alia suitable for public service (disaster relief, police, border security, tax- and customs administration) and civil (guarding and protection, agriculture, industry, transport, environmental protection, meteorology, geodesy and cartography) aerial missions. According to the given technical requirements, the UAV can be equipped with high-resolution day and night camera, thermos imager, different multispectral sensors and other detectors. The UAV starts by a bungee and lands optionally with a parachute.
Main technical features
- Propulsion: electric motor
- Net weight of the aircraft: 8-12 kg
- Wingspan: 3.3 m
- Maximum altitude of flight: 2000 m
- Minimum/maximum speed: 50/150 km/h
- Range: 15-20 km
- Maximum flight time: 120 min
- Guidance: remote control and autopilot (programmed flight route, loitering, waypoint flight, immediate return to base etc.)
Reconnaissance and surveillance UAV Ground Control Panels



The ground control panel (GCP) guiding the UAV is easily portable, rapidly deployable and easy to operate and does not require special operation skills. The device, integrated into a Peli Case, meets the strict demands and is resistant to water and dust. The control panel continuously displays the aircraft’s actual position on the map, and a real-time video-stream transmitted by the UAV. Its operation software is user friendly, which can be customized within limitations according to special needs.
2. Target unmanned Aerial Vehicles (air targets)

METEOR-3MA target unmanned aerial vehicle



The METEOR-3MA unmanned aerial vehicles (TUAVs) are primarily suitable air targets simulating real hostile aircrafts for Air Defence Forces equipped with surface-to-air missiles. The Air Defence Force units’ training and practice with UAVs is a cost effective and safe solution. The METEOR-3MA UAVs are equipped with a safety camera, a Luneberg radar reflector and pyrotechnic appliances as payload. The special ability of the system is to perform air target missions by operating simultaneously three UAVs in the air, with a pre-programmed flight route. Take-off and landing requires prepared land and is implemented with a running gear.
Main technical features
- Propulsion: gas turbine
- Net weight of the aircraft: 18-20 kg
- Wingspan: 5 m
- Length: 2.5 m
- Maximum altitude of flight: 3000 m
- Minimum/maximum speed: 60/230-250 km/h
- Range: 15-20 km
- Maximum flight time (fully charged): 30 min
- Guidance: remote control and autopilot (programmed flight route, loitering, waypoint flight etc.)
M-8 target unmanned aerial vehicle (remote control air target)



The M-8 mini TUAV is suitable for modelling simple air activities in order to monitor the combat readiness and other capabilities of the air defence artillery forces equipped with pounder- and machine guns. The special ability of the system is to perform air target missions by operating simultaneously three M-8 aircrafts in the air, with a pre-programmed flight route. Take-off is done by hand and the vehicle lands on the belly. Its operation is cost effective.
Main technical features
- Propulsion: electric engine
- Net weight of the aircraft: 3-4 kg
- Wingspan: 2.1 m
- Length: 0.8 m
- Maximum altitude of flight: 1000m
- Minimum/maximum speed: 40/100 km/h
- Range: 10 km
- Maximum flight time: 60 min
- Guidance: remote control and autopilot (programmed flight route, loitering, waypoint flight etc.)
GCS – Ground Control Station



The task of the Ground Control Station (GCS) is to navigate and monitor the TUAVs’ flight. The MACP has been developed on a two-axle trailer from where three operators can simultaneously navigate three METEOR-3MA or M-8 TUAVs by three workstations. In the specially designed cargo bay even four METEOR-3MA aerial vehicles can be transported to the mission’s location. The control centre can be deployed within short- only 25-30 minutes- time to perform air traffic control and operator tasks.
