President of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus Ersin Tatar visited the Azerbaijan Technical University (AzTU) “Engineer Development Program” (EDP) workshop.

It was noted that the EDP workshop was established within the framework of the cooperation between the Turkish Aerospace Industries Corporation (TAIC) and AzTU. At the workshop, President Ersin Tatar was also given detailed information about the defense-purpose unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) jointly developed by students of AzTU and the National Aviation Academy (NAA). It was noted that the UAV in question was developed as a result of the “AzTU-Turkish Aerospace, EDP 2023.1” highly qualified engineering training program implemented within the framework of the joint cooperation between AzTU, TAIC and NAA. The UAV has the function of distinguishing between enemy and friendly soldiers by the colors of their uniforms (berets). The UAV can carry out its mission by flying at an altitude of 50 meters. The total duration of the process is 14 minutes. During the flight, the enemy coordinates are automatically calculated by the program, the general basic data is analyzed and transmitted to the Ground Control Station. The flight is carried out by controlling the direction of the UAV according to the information displayed on the Ground Station Interface (GUI).

President Ersin Tatar met with the students working in the workshop and wished them success.
