| TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — Kaohsiung-based Kolead Aerospace is set to showcase the military drones and related components it distributes from Thursday to Saturday at the biannual Taipei Aerospace and Defense Technology Exhibition.
This year’s expo will feature more than 400 exhibitors from 14 countries, the most in the event's history. Key highlights include unmanned aerial and maritime systems, encrypted communications, and sustainable aviation fuel. The organizer is also set to host forums on space technology, communications, and satellite imagery security. The company exclusively distributes Teledyne FLIR’s military-grade infrared thermal imaging systems and United Rotorcraft’s aerial firefighting helicopters in Taiwan. It also has maintenance capabilities for F-16 fighter jets and T700 engines, per CNA. Kolead said that it will showcase the Teledyne FLIR SkyCarrier, an autonomous drone launch and recovery system that can be mounted on vehicles or boats. The company will also display the Teledyne FLIR SkyRanger R70 drone, which is equipped with a surveillance and reconnaissance module. The UAV can be tethered for power and signal transmission, making it suitable for coastal patrols, disaster search and rescue operations, and border surveillance. Up to 16 units can operate together in coordinated missions. SkyRanger R70 has military-grade sensors, anti-jamming capabilities, and enhanced endurance and payload capacity, the company said. It is built to maintain stable performance in electromagnetic environments and has been deployed in the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Also on display will be the Teledyne FLIR HDC MR, a high-definition surveillance system for border, troop, and infrastructure security. The device is integrated with an AI-powered system, offering long-range identification and automatic target tracking capabilities. The company is also set to showcase the Teledyne FLIR Recon V and Recon VUL handheld multi-sensor thermal binoculars. They provide clear images for nighttime reconnaissance in low-light or no-light conditions. |
