SteelRock UAV is introducing its NightFighter UAV technology to the Middle Eastern market this week at the 2017 Dubai Airshow. Exhibiting at the UK Department for International Trade Defence and Security Organization’s showcase (Stand 856C), the company is demonstrating its portfolio of multi-platform UAVs. SteelRock UAV is looking for partners in the region to help market the company’s technology.  

The NightFighter uses narrowcast digital radio transmissions to neutralize hostile UAV threats. It has a range of 3.8 km and can be configured for specific customer requirements. The device has endured radiation hazard testing to ensure the safety of operators as well as the environment.

Like the NightFighter, SteelRock UAV’s products are manufactured at its UK facility. An in-house research and development team featuring Former First Sea Lord Admiral Sir George Zambellas reviews the products. Zambellas recently joined the company as a senior advisor and participates as a part of the research and development team.

“I’m delighted to join SteelRock UAV’s highly impressive teams who are restlessly driving their extraordinary UAV and C-UAV business toward domination of this highly relevant and specialist part of the sector,” said Zambellas. “The Dubai Airshow is a pivotal event for SteelRock UAV, where we will be looking for compatible and innovative strategic partners in the Middle East to help commercialize our technology in the region.”
