Our values
- PRODUCT RELIABILITY
- HIGH PERFORMANCE
- COST-EFFECTIVENESS
UAV Factory goal is to produce reliable, cost-effective, and high-performance products. This set of requirements is the reason why we have decided to develop our own technology and subsystems. By having our own subsystems, we can ensure that the product is reliable, which is the number one parameter that needs to be achieved.
Seamless integration between the subsystems allows us to achieve the best performance since individual components are made to work with each other. We can also save weight and make the system cost-effective.
