Drone warheads: Donaustahl has IABG test new series to NATO standards

Drone warheads from a new series by Donaustahl GmbH are to be tested with a view to NATO standardisation. The company has commissioned Industrieanlagen-Betriebsgesellschaft mbH (IABG) to carry out the test campaigns.

Donaustahl Managing Director Stefan Thumann explains the choice as follows: “In the renowned IABG, we have found the ideal partner to test our unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) warheads for compliance with the highest safety and performance standards. This is a decisive step in aligning our technologies with the Western market as well”.

According to the company, “extensive detonation and safety tests to ensure functionality and compatibility with NATO requirements” are planned.
