Romania has initiated its first integrated drone development program through a collaboration protocol signed on November 5 by the minister of economy, entrepreneurship, and tourism, \u0218tefan-Radu Oprea, and the minister of research, innovation, and digitization, Bogdan-Gruia Ivan.<\/p>\n
This agreement aims to foster scientific research and technological advancements in aerospace, specifically for creating a Romanian-manufactured drone.<\/p>\n
Minister Bogdan-Gruia Ivan highlighted that the protocol marks a significant advancement in Romania’s aerospace research, while minister \u0218tefan-Radu Oprea noted that the drone prototype could eventually be manufactured in both state-owned and private defence industry factories across Romania, G4media.ro<\/a> reported.<\/p>\n The project will primarily focus on developing a “Medium Altitude Long Endurance (MALE) Category Unmanned Aerial Capability” for dual-use applications. This includes building at least two UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles) and establishing the ground infrastructure for their control, technical support, and IT operations.<\/p>\n Another focus area will be the development of autonomous aerial systems through the “Conversion of classic ammunition into loitering ammunition.” This involves designing both fixed-wing and rotary-wing UAV systems, along with the necessary launch and control mechanisms to support autonomous operation.<\/p>\n iulian@romania-insider.com<\/em><\/p>\n (Photo source: Facebook\/Bogdan Ivan)<\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Romania has initiated its first integrated drone development program through a collaboration protocol signed on November 5 by the minister of economy, entrepreneurship, and tourism, \u0218tefan-Radu Oprea, and the minister of research, innovation, and digitization, Bogdan-Gruia Ivan.
