At the Air Force Tech Summit in Berlin, the German company INTEC Industrie-Technik and Canadian UVAD Technologies introduced their full-scale model of the supersonic target drone, Falcon, for the first time. This was reported by Hartpunkt.

According to Simon Volkman, INTEC's sales manager, the drone is designed to simulate enemy attacks at low altitudes, capable of flying just a few meters above the sea at speeds of 1.3 Mach. In higher atmospheric layers, the Falcon can reach speeds of up to 1.6 Mach.
The drone is equipped with two European-made engines that allow for supersonic flight without the use of afterburners. The first flight of the Falcon is scheduled for late 2026 or early 2027.

Volkman mentioned that the drone includes additional features, such as the ability to carry various payloads weighing up to 50 kg, which can consist of different sensors and electronic warfare systems. There are also plans to install a satellite communication system. Onboard computations draw power from a 4 kW source.
According to UVAD, the Falcon measures 5.8 meters in length, has a wingspan of 2.2 meters, and boasts a flight duration of over 30 minutes. The current takeoff weight is limited to 450 kg due to the use of a launch catapult, but INTEC is already developing a new catapult capable of launching models weighing up to 800 kg. After the flight, the drone lands using a parachute and an air cushion.

The company emphasizes that the drone has been designed with cost-effectiveness in mind to minimize potential losses.

INTEC is also considering local production of the Falcon if orders arise from Germany or Europe.

Moreover, in Ukraine, the first "drone wall" is set to be deployed soon to protect cities and critical infrastructure from Russian strike drones and glide bombs.
