South Korean firm Huneed Technologies has entered a partnership with Danish firm Nordic Wing to collaborate on promoting the latter’s Astero unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) in the Indo-Pacific.

Under the partnership agreement – signed on 19 October on the third day of the International Aerospace & Defense Exhibition (ADEX) 2023 held in Seoul – Huneed Technologies will lead regional campaigns for the UAV and will look to integrate components into the platform. In the Indo-Pacific the UAV will be known as Troy.

Speaking to Janes, Jonas Münster, Nordic Wing’s chief sales officer, said the Astero/Troy UAV is suitable for both civil and defence applications. The Astero UAV is operated by European countries and NATO forces, and has also been deployed by Ukraine in its conflict with Russia.

The UAV has a low radar cross-section and is equipped with Nighthawk 2, a dual electro-optic/infrared stabilised camera, which has a terminal resolution of 1,280×720 and 40x zoom capability.
