İti Qovan is an Azerbaijani strike unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), designed for reconnaissance and ground-attack missions. The system is intended to provide precision strike capability while operating remotely without an onboard pilot.

Development

[edit]

The İti Qovan project was developed to enhance Azerbaijan’s domestic unmanned combat capabilities. The drone was designed with the intention of being a "Kamikaze" style loitering munition, much like the Israeli "Harop" Drone, allowing it to be adapted for different mission profiles such as surveillance, target acquisition, and strike operations. Details regarding its development timeline and testing phases have not been fully disclosed publicly.

Design
