Turkish Firms Create Life-Saving Drones for Disaster Response
Recently, a man was airlifted to safety by a drone after floodwaters trapped him in the middle of Vietnam's Srepok River in Cu Jut district. When conventional rescue efforts proved impossible due to strong currents and challenging terrain, a drone, originally intended for agricultural purposes, became the “disaster victim’s lifeline.”
Equipped with a carrying capacity of 100 kilograms (220 pounds), the drone transported the stranded individual to a reachable location, allowing rescue teams to pull him safely from the water.
High-capacity cargo drones from Turkish defense companies are notable for similar capabilities, making them well-suited for emergency response operations.
Leading firms such as Zyrone Dynamics, Titra Technology, and DASAL manufacture drones designed to operate under extreme disaster conditions.
The ZD360 cargo UAV from Zyrone Dynamics represents a next-generation, high-capacity model capable of operating within a 10-kilometer (6.2-mile) radius while carrying 60 kilograms (132 pounds).
Within a 1-kilometer (0.62-mile) radius, it can handle a payload of 100 kilograms.
Its compact design—about one-fourth the size of comparable systems—enables easy transport by vehicle and rapid deployment.
Meanwhile, Titra Technology’s Alpin is Türkiye’s first unmanned helicopter.
This aerial vehicle can carry up to 200 kilograms (440 pounds), including fuel, highlighting its potential in complex disaster relief scenarios.
