ACE ONE

On June 15�18, 2021, the only event in Ukraine in the field of aviation and space technologies � Aviasvit-XXI International Aviation and Space Salon � took place at the International Exhibition Centre. Aviation industry of Ukraine was traditionally represented by booths of industry leaders and numerous booths of public and private enterprises. The real trend of the exhibition in 2021 was a large number of companies that presented unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) of various types and purposes.

The exhibition �show stopper�, multi-purpose stealth UAV by AIR COMBAT EVOLUTION, is the last highlight in this list manufactured in Ukraine. This ambitious project was developed by the best Ukrainian aerospace industry experts led by former CEO of Antonov Company Oleksandr Los and former Head of the State Space Agency of Ukraine Volodymyr Usov. The UAV was developed in partnership with Ivchenko-Progres, Motor Sich and Hydrobest. Thanks to the latest stealth technology and its flat wing shape, the UAV is virtually invisible to radars and difficult to detect. The ACE ONE speed is close to supersonic, 1,000 km/h. It is controlled by an artificial intelligence system that can control a swarm of such UAVs. This Ukrainian UAV will not only perform reconnaissance operations but will also be able to use high-precision guided weapons located in two large internal compartments against ground and air targets.

The low-visibility high-speed combat drone ACE ONE from the International Company ACE. It will have the characteristic "flat wing" shape and will be equipped with an Ivchenko AI-332F engine manufactured by Ivchenko-Progress and PJSC Motor Sich with a thrust of 2,500 kg. The machine will have a takeoff weight of 7.5 tons, maximum speed - 0.95M, tactical range - 1500 km and payload - 900 kg. The purpose of the drone is strategic, operational and tactical reconnaissance, assault operations in a wide range of heights, air defense suppression, drone control, and patrols. Testing of individual systems is currently underway, and the first launch of the drone could take place in at least 30 months.
