KAL readies hybrid-powered UAVs for South Korean military
Korean Air (KAL)
announced on 30 July that it had been contracted to supply an undisclosed number of hybrid-powered unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) prototypes to the government’s Defense Acquisition Program Administration (DAPA) for testing by the South Korean military.
The prototypes
will be assessed under the Vertical Take-off and Landing Coastguard Drone (Rotary Wing) category of DAPA’s Rapid Demonstration Acquisition Program,
which seeks to exploit the agility which the private sector can bring in order to introduce mature products into the market and leverage these developments for government and military applications.
