Germany-based artificial intelligence company Helsinki, to Ukraine 6000 HX-2 kamikaze unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) announced that it will manufacture to supply. Previously 4000 HF-1 kamikaze UAVs were delivered Stating that the company aims to increase Ukraine's defense capacity with its new production process.
New Production Facility Started Operation
In addition to this large order, Helsing opens new factory in southern Germany announced. This facility is available to national states providing local and sovereign production capacities It was designed for this purpose and aims to become an important centre for the production of unmanned aerial vehicles throughout Europe.
Helsing in Europe by increasing the number of such factories, production rates in case of a possible conflict to increase to tens of thousands of units plans. Newly launched RF-1 factory, monthly Has the capacity to produce more than 1000 HX-2 kamikaze UAVs.
Helsing's Strategy and Explanations
Co-founder of Helsing Gundbert Scherf, in his statement on the issue, They increased HX-2 production in response to additional orders from Ukraine Scherf's statements are as follows:
“Here we see that vulnerability is offsetting a numerical disadvantage against legacy systems every day. It is clear that NATO needs to learn important lessons quickly. We are taking a distributed approach with our factories to mass produce these systems across Europe, so that each state can produce locally and secure the sovereignty of its supply chain.”
Other co-founder Niklas Kohler if, Bringing together the best manufacturing capabilities in Europe, they have developed new generation technologies that can be mass produced. According to Köhler, Helsing's production strategy combines software-first design and scalable manufacturing techniques.
"We solve hard problems at the software layer, not the electronics layer. This enables affordable precision manufacturing, deterring adversaries and protecting our jurisdiction. The HX-2 is just the first in a series of products based on this foundation."
Technical Specifications of HX-2 Kamikaze UAV
Developed by Helsing HX-2 Kamikaze UAV, Introduced at the end of 2024 ve Featuring an X-wing design stands out as a system.
- Range: up to 100 km
- Drive system: Electric motor
- Goals: Artillery batteries, armored vehicles and other military elements
- Cost: Much lower unit cost compared to traditional systems
In modern land warfare the growing talent gap filling HX-2, advanced artificial intelligence-powered software Thanks to this, it can show high resistance against electronic warfare measures.
HX-2's AI-Enabled Capabilities
Developed by Helsing embedded artificial intelligence software, HX-2 makes it immune to enemy electronic warfare measures. System, Search, re-identify and engage targets without the need for constant signal or data connection has the ability.
The second reason to use the HX-2, which can work integrated with Helsing's Altra reconnaissance-attack software, can operate in swarms that can be managed by a single operator. This feature is useful on the battlefield It provides a great advantage in neutralizing enemy elements by organizing coordinated attacks..
Helsing's Decision to produce 6000 HX-2 kamikaze UAVs for Ukraine, is seen as a harbinger of a new era in unmanned aerial vehicle production in Europe. Strategy to increase local production capacity, It is considered a critical security measure for NATO and European countries.
HX-2 AI-powered autonomous operation capabilities, on modern battlefields a technology that provides asymmetric advantage While this system stands out as a system, it is expected to be developed further in the future.
