The Argentine Air Force took part in the 8th Science, Technology, Innovation and Development for Defence Days, held on October 21 at the Cultural Science Center. The event featured unmanned systems for air, maritime and land applications.
The Air Force’s Directorate General for Research and Development presented Búho, a remotely piloted aerial system. It is the first Class I military unmanned aerial vehicle with electric propulsion designed and built in Argentina. The aircraft was officially certified by the Joint Directorate General for Military Airworthiness.
Certification of the Búho project marks an important step for the Air Force and the Ministry of Defence. The system has potential for pre-series production and provides a technological baseline for other models, including the Aukan system with an internal combustion engine.
