The Center for Advanced Studies participated in the ninth edition of the Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) Economy Fair, which was held in Skenderija, and presented a program made in the past period, which also included prototypes of drones.
Among other things, the CNT1045-8 and CNT2200-2 drones were presented at the fair. The CNT1045-8 drone has eight engines, a maximum thrust of 200 newtons, a maximum permissible take-off weight of 12 kilograms, a flight time of 30 minutes, and a radio communication range of 10 kilometers.
The CNT2200-2 drone has one engine, a wingspan of 2.2 meters, a maximum thrust of 50 newtons, a take-off weight of six kilograms, a flight time of 20 minutes, and a radio communication range of six kilometers.
Dean Dzebic, a military security analyst, says that drones, like all other products from the CNT range, are intended for civilian use, but it must be acknowledged that they manage to follow trends in this regard as well.
“The future development of a Multicopter that will carry up to 30 kilograms of payload represents an understanding of trends and markets. Modern wars and armed conflicts of the 21st century represent a cost-result dimension of warfare. According to this pattern, expensive and complex combat systems are successfully destroyed by simple systems that are easy to use and quickly move from zero series to serial production,” Dzebic stated.
He states that the future of the defense industry in BiH will depend on the possibility of imposing itself on the market as a country with an acceptable price of raw materials and production costs.
“Ultimately, it is also necessary to train personnel in the field of ballistics, propulsion, and the entire spectrum of fields for which the higher education system in BiH is under-capacitated. Due to all the constitutional and political difficulties, all companies from the defense industry in BiH should try to join a single consortium that will represent them on the third market,” suggests Dzebic, Klix.ba reports.
