Thai firm Aero Technology Industry Company Limited (ATIL) has unveiled a new X-tail unmanned combat aerial vehicle (UCAV) at the Defense & Security 2023 exhibition in Bangkok.

The company said the DP18A UCAV is a “tactical attack UAV [unmanned aerial vehicle] for reconnaissance, surveillance, [and] intelligence gathering” that can also provide “real-time strikes against enemy targets”.

An ATIL official told Janes that the UCAV prototype has been developed over the past year for the Royal Thai Armed Forces as a “cost-effective, fast, and manoeuvrable strike system”.

ATIL recently completed the development of the DP18A, and the company is now in discussion with the Thai military about potential procurement, the company official said.

Such a programme, which is expected to be supported through further testing by the Thai military, would initially encompass one DP18A system, which comprises four UCAVs and a ground control system.
