Fuji Inback “Drone”:
We sell UAVs for Southeast Asia. We have a track record of delivering to the Ministry of Defense.
Started exporting basic parts to Malaysian companies. An assembly system using local parts will be established in September.
Sell to Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam and Indonesia. 5 units will be sold in 2023 and 15 units will be sold in 2024.
“V6” that can fly for up to 10 hours
V6, W2b performance:
Sales machines are V6, W2b, and E7K. Equipped with a gasoline engine, with a total length of 3.0m and a wingspan of 5.5m.
The V6 can fly for up to 10 hours, and the W2b can carry 30kg of luggage. It excels in long-distance flight and carrying capacity.
Drone with LiB:
LiB-equipped drones can only fly for 30 minutes with a weight of 2 kg. Gasoline engine aircraft are more practical than LiB-equipped drones.
Southeast Asia Needs:
Southeast Asia faces logistical and border security problems.
There are many military anti-aircraft radars and surveillance radars on the border. There are many areas where GPS does not work.
It has been delivered to Japan’s Ministry of Defense and has autonomous flight capabilities, so demand in Southeast Asia will increase in the future.
Japanese drone: ACSL
ACSL has started mass production of the aircraft in India.
Japanese drone: Aerosense
Aerosense will expand sales in Malaysia’s tropical rainforest survey.
All of these companies are moving aggressively in the Asian market.

Seiji Tanabe, President of Fuji Inback
Inquiries from emerging countries:
In order to respond to mass needs, we will transfer technology overseas as a new attempt.
Japan will produce main parts such as engines. With this production system, local companies can also share the work.
Municipalities and governments and flight demonstrations:
In Japan, we will conduct demonstration experiments at Ryugasaki Airfield in Ibaraki Prefecture, and we will also start demonstration experiments in Fukushima Prefecture.
Demand related to logistics, power transmission lines and tracks, surveying, and the Ministry of Defense can also be expected in the event of a disaster.

Parachute-equipped flight:
Fuji Inback is particular about safety. Developed a fixed-wing drone with a parachute.
W-T3 type fully automatic takeoff and landing system:
We are working on full automation of the aircraft. Last year, a fully automatic take-off and landing system was completed.
It also succeeded in surpassing the landing skills of test pilots.
