CIAC Quimbaya

Quimbaya is a Colombian fixed-wing uncrewed aircraft designed, produced and integrated by CIAC for surveillance, reconnaissance and observation of infrastructure and other targets. Its carbon-fibre airframe carries an electro-optical/infrared sensor and uses an encrypted data link. Navigation and control support autonomous, semiautomatic and manual operation, including automatic runway takeoff and landing. CIAC lists a 74 kg maximum takeoff mass and 7 kg payload capacity. Its technical sheet describes endurance up to eight hours with five hours tested, and a line-of-sight operating radius up to 100 km with 70 km tested; these are distinct from demonstrated flight range.
