The problem
BlitzTech set out to demonstrate that capable surveillance and surveying UAVs could be designed and built locally in Zimbabwe, not imported. The Zimbabwe National Army was the demonstration target.
What we built
BlitzTech designed, built, and flew fixed-wing and quadcopter prototypes from concept through to airborne demonstration. The demo flight was conducted for ZNA, who confirmed the prototypes met their operational interest but were not in a funding position at the time.
Tech stack
UAV airframe design
flight controllers
embedded telemetry
cinematography payload
Outcome
Flying, demonstrated UAVs. ZNA expressed interest; funding did not follow. The prototype platform underpins BlitzTech's ongoing UAV / precision-agriculture work today.
