Insta has developed a new, more effective version of the combination of a drone and a patented explosive charge. The new version, the Insta Steel Eagle™ ER (Extended Range), is the result of international collaboration. Compared to the previous Insta Steel Eagle product, it brings a more capable and affordable solution to the defence technology market.
– The new solution combines broad expertise with state-of-the-art technology tested in harsh conditions. We have designed the patented explosive charge. The drone equipment that provides better performance as well as a longer range and higher load carrying capacity is supplied by our Ukrainian partner that operates in the wider drone ecosystem, explains Tuure Lehtoranta, Vice President, Sales and Customers, Defence at Insta.
With the drone, the explosive charge can be transported by air above the desired target, where it can then be detonated. The charge contains projectiles, and it delivers fragments across a wide area of effect, precisely striking the desired target from above.
– The requirements of modern electronic warfare, including the ability to tolerate interference, have been considered in the development of the system.
Agile development of state-of-the-art technology
The changed security environment has created new opportunities also for Insta, which for years now has focused on developing critical defence technologies. A rapid development process and learning from others are essential in building future capabilities. Collaboration and agile productization enable applying these capabilities and lessons also in other countries’ defence. Currently, the solution is available for the Ukrainian market. In the future, however, the marketing licenses applied for as part of international collaboration allow selling and marketing the solution in Europe and in NATO countries as well.
Innovations that attract international interest
Insta has plenty of experience and competence in the fields of cyber security, software development, and defence technology. This comprehensive expertise can meet the future needs of the international defence market in a versatile and tailored manner.
The patented Insta Safe EOD™ drone solution is an efficient approach to the safe clearing of mines and explosives. With the new method, the clearance personnel no longer have to enter the immediate danger area. The solution uses a drone for identifying the explosive ordnance to be cleared and delivering a clearing charge.
