UKRSPECSYSTEMS is a provider of flexible, affordable Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) for both military and commercial applications. We provide both fixed-wing and multirotor drones, in addition to state-of-the-art support equipment such as ground control stations and gyro-stabilized gimbals.
The PD-2 UAS is a versatile modular UAV platform that is designed to fit the needs of a wide variety of both civilian and military applications. Fully tested to withstand durability, shock, vibration, temperature and harsh weather, the system is currently on active service with the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
The system features three possible configurations – VTOL (vertical take-off and landing), fixed-wing with landing gear, and fixed-wing without landing gear. Conversion between modes takes less than 15 minutes, with no tools required.
The PD-2’s engine module is based around a 4-stroke 100cc gasoline engine that runs on regular A95 fuel and consumables that are available world-wide. A 500W electric generator powers all equipment on board and charges batteries during flight. The engine can be remotely started with the push of a button, and integrated sensors provide real-time status information such as RPM, temperature and fuel level.
The UAV can be equipped with a wide range of payloads, including UKRSPECSYSTEMS EO/IR gimbals with digital video stabilization and target tracking, as well as third-party sensors such as LiDAR, synthetic aperture radar, and cell phone trackers. Communication options include RF line-of-sight (LoS) datalink, 3G/LTE, and SATCOM.

The PD-1 VTOL (vertical take-off and landing) module is a conversion kit for the PD-1 UAV, allowing any PD–1 drone to be adapted to allow vertical take-off and landing. Four additional electric motors can be quickly installed on the fixed-wing drone, without having to return the platform to the factory – this upgrade can even be carried out in the field.
The VTOL module increases the wing span to 5 meters, and the maximum flight time is 8 hours with 7 kg of payload and a full tank of fuel.
With fully automatic take-off and landing functionality, the PD-1 VTOL UAV is easy to operate and ideal for maritime missions, particularly if the drone operates from a ship deck.
We offer a unique package delivery module for the PD–1 UAV. It can carry a payload of up to 7 kg in one or separate containers, which can be dropped from the UAV by parachute during flight. The container size and shape can be customized according to specific applications.
