In our facility here, we do all of the manufacturing, so we 3D print the airframe of the drone.
00:10
We design and create the flight control systems.
00:16
Everything is then assembled with all the manufacturing, shipping and distribution done
00:21
out of this facility here in Fishwick, where we're making over a thousand drones, or we've
00:26
made over a thousand drones so far, and we have the capacity to make about 3,000 a year.
00:31
This is our BQ400 target drone.
00:34
This is actually drone number 1,000.
00:37
To date, we're at about 1,800 drones, and number 2,000 will come out of the factory
00:42
in the next few weeks.
00:43
This drone is used as a target for counter drone training.
00:47
Many of them only fly once, and they get shot out of the sky.
00:51
These drones also fly hundreds of hours, emulating drone threats for militaries and companies
00:58
that do counter drone systems.
01:01
So far, we've exported to Scandinavia, the Netherlands, UK, Spain, many customers in
01:09
the US, and of course, Australia and New Zealand.
