Hamdy Weheba, the Chairman of the Arab Organization for
Industrialization claimed this week that Egypt has started the
production of the ASN-209 Multi-purpose UAV System. He claimed that
although the UAVs are being built in collaboration with a foreign
defence manufacturer, more than 99% of the components are locally
manufactured. He claimed that with the latest manufacturing venture,
Egypt is entering in to the second phase of mass ASN-209 production. He
said that the six drones which they had built during the first phase are
fully operational under the Egyptian armed forces.
The drone was
developed by ASN Technology Group, which is a specialized Unmanned
Aerial Vehicle (UAV) Research and development company based in China.
ASN claims that their UAV is capable of performing aerial
reconnaissance, battle field survey, target location, destroy validation
and artillery fire adjustment. It is capable of undertaking night time
operations as well. According to the ASN officials, the UAV is capable
of undertaking missions which require it to be on air continuously for
up to 10 hours. The UAV is having an operational range of 125 miles and
is capable of supervising very large areas.
