Kai! Tribalism na bastard! See how bigotry has beclouded your common reasoning! All you see there is Muslim attire and you still had the inanity to bring tribalism into this topic. Keep fearing the Igbos.

Silly Igbo hater!

whats there to fear about a race that relies on a stup1d president to take them out of 'captivity'?

If they have built a drone, why they are showing us a cardboard na?

This isn't the first,there's the one built by young engineers in the airforce.


Young NAF officers design, build drone

KADUNA — Young officers from Nigerian Air Force
School of Engineers, Aircraft Design Centre, Kaduna,
yesterday, dazzled the Minister of Science and
Technology, Prof. Ita Okon Bassey-Ewa when they
displayed to him an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle, UAV,
referred to as drone, which could fly non-stop for
about four hours at 3000 feet.

The drone was conceptualised, designed and built by
them in Kaduna under the direct supervision of the
Provost of the Nigerian Air Force, NAF, Institute of
Technology, Prof. Emmanuel Ezugwu.

According to officials of the institute, the drone’s
empenage was about three metres while the wing
span was about half a metre.
The four officers, all Flight Lieutenants, said it was a
three-year effort in collaboration with Cranfield
University of United Kingdom with funds from the
Federal Government.
The officers who asked that all the credit for break
through be given to the Commandant of the school
and Chief of Air Staff pleaded that their names be not
mentioned in the press.

The school had earlier displayed a conceptualised
model of an ab-initio training fighter aircraft known
as Farawa (meaning “the beginning” in Hausa) for
the Air Force just as it was trying to design a
Nigerian-made Air Beattle, AB-18, for the Air Force.
The four officers had bagged Masters degrees in
various fields related to avionics from Cranfield
University, after their first degrees from the Nigerian
Defence Academy, Kaduna.

They told Vanguard: “We designed and built this UAV
based on the pressing needs of our country today.
The vehicle can be used in pipeline monitoring,
border patrol, mapping and disaster monitoring.
Other areas of use include maritime patrol, aerial
surveillance and pest monitoring.
“The vehicle can fly at 3000 feet, and remain
airborne for four hours using petrol for now. The first
one we built is called Amebo 1. The second one is
Amebo 2 and is an improvement over the first.
“If we keep getting the right support as we are
getting now, we will accomplish our mission for the
country.”

In fact in the next five years, we may start building
our own light aircraft for training new pilots”, the
officers said.

The Minister who was obviously amazed at the
development was in Kaduna attending the National
Stakeholders’ Workshop/Exhibition on National
System of Innovation, NSI, during which several
inventions by Nigerians were exhibited.
Earlier in his opening remarks at ceremony the
Minister had said, “as demonstration of the drive
towards promoting innovations the Ministry is calling
for entries for the maiden, ‘’Best
Innovation/Invention Award.’’

The award which was open to individuals, institutions
and corporate bodies has a grand prize of N1 million.

There's a difference between built(made) and assembled.

No, refer to us as a continent! Since you clearly don't know the difference.

"Stories that touch" - This was because I didn't begin to argue, cuss and tribalize this thread, isn't it? Funny!

I wont feed your craving for tribal beef.. At least, not tonight!

Birds of a feather die together. Don't worry until 2015. I hope you "Go and Die" with your Buhari when GEJ gets re-elected as the president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Ok, keep at it. By the time I open a whoop a55 on you, it will seem as though you are coming down with a stroke.

My patience wears very thin when i'm dealing with dumb a55 f.uckwitts from the east of the Niger so be warned.

Ease out your frustration.. Over thinking kills!

E better pass nothing sha!!!!
That said the drone looks small for the required purpose and it seems to probably use wireless signals that are easy to intercept. Its better we even buy the cheaper chinco brand of the predator at 1mil dollars and strike better technology transfer with the Chinese to fast track our own drone development.
Already china is making giant strive to acquire advance technology on drone apart from the west.The west may prefer not to give Nigeria any advance system.
I support indigenous technology. I also feel Nigeria should go for gold o! lets meet chinco for now. Also forget Israel on drone. They have good drone technology but will hardly provide us anything better than mere short RF drones. Similar to the one shown here. Something platoons or small units use for small distance surveillance during operations.
We need drones offering several hours ,minimum 24 hrs of flight per mission.Easily use to comb the creeks, remote deserts,mountains,forest and borders for illegal camps and border crossings.

Drone!!! Is that the name for the new Tecno product with BBM

pDude: No pix, no test flight, nothing.


In this day and age of camera phones

Keep deceiving yourselves

Abi o, what a joke

.

THE WAY I C IT THIS DRONE WILL BE USED TO CARRY OUT SURVEILLANCE
SEEING THE ENEMY IS ONE THING
BEING ABLE TO DO SOMETHING ABOUTTHE SEEN ENEMYIS ANOTHER

pDude: No pix, no test flight, nothing.

I've seen this UAV in action.

Pessimists' everywhere.

...huh? ..drone or kite? ...I give up!

this jonathan is a jooke, my goodnes, is this a drone Ha!!! Nigeria has suffered!!! Wat can dis one do?? This is merely a pritotype of a drone.

A drone is meant for information gathering and warfare at d same time. This is a toy plane fool.
