VTOL batteries are automatically recharged by a 500 W onboard generator.
Easy-to-use solution
No tools are required to change the configuration of the PD-2 UAV.
Automatic battery heating
VTOL accumulators are automatically heated, ensuring optimal performance under low temperatures.
Fast configuration swap
Rapidly change an airframe configuration on the go within 15 min.
PD-2 UAV features

Used to prevent collisions at night or in times of reduced visibility, and are an essential tool in keeping people and UAVs safe.
Landing gear with braking system
Reduces the distance required for a runway landing.
Automatic takeoff and landing
Fully automatical remote take-off and landing without human intervention.
Automatic flight along the route
Plan the mission and execute it perfectly.
ADS-B transponder
Lets the UAV determine its position and periodically broadcast it, enabling it to be tracked.
Anti-jamming
A secure encrypted connection and the dual-datalink system ensure that UAV won't be jammed.
PD-2 engine module

4-stroke gas engine, that runs on regular A95 fuel. Consumables are available world-wide and no special fuel required.
Electric generator
500 w electric generator to power up all equipment on board and charge batteries during the flight.
Remote start
Start engine from a distance with a push of a button, even during the flight the engine can be automatically restarted by flight controller.
Integrated sensors
See status of the engine during the flight, thanks to the RPM, temperature, air temperature, fuel level and other sensors.
Muffler
Specifically designed custom muffler greatly reduces acoustic signature during the flight.
Fuel tank
Integrated 12 liters carbon fiber fuel tank to support your long-endurance missions. With mil-grade fuel valve for quick fuelling.
Advanced EO/IR payloads
PD-2 UAV can carry a wide range of different payloads. The standard ISTAR equipment includes the aerophotogrammetry package and the USG-212 EO/IR gimbal or USG-211 EO gimbal. Both camera gimbals feature 30x optical zoom, digital video stabilization, and target tracking.
Third-party gimbals from world well-known manufacturers may be installed instead. Furthermore, there is still enough space in the payload compartment to carry a secondary optional payload.
Other payloads
LiDAR
Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR)
Cell phone tracker (IMSI catcher)
Radio repeater
PD-2 cargo delivery modules
PD-2 UAV is capable of cargo delivery in different ways: dropdown via fuselage/wing modules or even landing the drone for load/unload and further take-off. Cargo delivery may be executed by command or at a predetermined point.
Underwing
Fuselage
Land and take-off
Want to see what cargo modules look like? Check out our video!
The PD-2 UAV can vertically land for load/unload and further takeoff multiple times in any environment. Moreover, it can hover over the target and drop the cargo precisely. The PD-2 surveillance drone allows you to deliver different types of cargo with a weight of up to 8 kg.
UAS communication methods
We have integrated different communication methods, so you can choose whatever you need for the current mission.
LoS communication
3G/LTE connectivity
SATCOM

15 min assembly time
Communications
Ground control station is powered by advanced software solution providing features like:
Control one UAV using multiple GCS
Extend mission range, hopping the control from one GCS to another during the flight
Signal relay from one UAV to other UAVs
Several UAVs may be operated via one GCS
Control of several UAVs from one GCS
One GCS may easily operate several UAVs in rage in case if the operation needs a full cover of the area for precise data
Live streaming to multiple GCS and RVT
The necessary information is available for operators, HQ, and field troops at the same time
Strix online software
Strix-online is specialized software developed for processing gathered information, report generation, and further transfer to external sources using API.
Strix online features include mission planning; moving live map; adding objects and obtaining their coordinates within one click; target detection, identification, and analysis; PDF report generation; transfer to an external source via API; various security protocols, and much more.
Tested without remorse
PD-2 UAS has been tested for durability, vibrations, impacts, temperature, and various weather conditions affection.
Our team is sure, that the success of the product comes only with the correct and adequate numbers related to the unmanned aerial system. To be sure in the technical details we state, we’ve performed a number of relentless tests of the PD-2 UAS with the help of the State Research Institute for Testing and Certification of Arms and Military Equipment of Ukraine.
Tracking antenna unit
Ground tracking antenna maximizes radio communication range between your drone and the ground control station and therefore allows to use of the maximum potential of the data link. It uses the drone position information to accurately orient the antenna in the UAV direction.
To ensure maximum reliability during the mission there are two integrated communication channels to the tracking antenna system.
The tracking antenna is equipped with a built-in video camera, which allows having visual control over your drone close to mid-range distance.
Combat proven solution
PD-2 unmanned aerial systems are currently on active service in Ukrainian Armed Forces. Our systems are permanently operated to perform various military tasks. The solution has received positive feedback from Ukrainian Army officers, drone operators, and intelligence agents.
PD-2 is equipped with anti-jam capabilities, ensuring a smooth operation without a GNSS signal or while facing GPS spoofing or control signals interception attempts.
