BATON drones are designed to meet military requirements, prioritizing simplicity and ease of use in challenging conditions.

Built on frames of various sizes, these UAVs can operate in extreme weather, including severe cold and heat, according to the Ministry of Defense.

The drones have strong dynamic capabilities, allowing them to pursue and strike enemy targets at high speeds.
