American company LeVanta Tech has announced the start of cooperation with Ukroboronprom<\/a> on the creation of a hybrid unmanned vehicle capable of functioning both as a maritime and an aerial drone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The drone concept already exists and is called Halia. According to LeVanta Tech, this is a maritime unmanned vehicle that can remain on the water surface for extended periods with minimal detectability and, if necessary, transition to flight at high speed. The platform is aimed at reconnaissance, surveillance and strike missions in coastal and maritime operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kelly Eccles, CEO and founder of LeVanta Tech, emphasised the technological and symbolic importance of the project for both sides in a comment<\/a> to Militarnyi and called Ukraine \u201ca world leader among free countries in the field of unmanned technologies\u201d. According to him, there are currently many drones that fly and many that float, but \u201cvery few that can do both\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
