The UAV FAP is an unmanned aerial vehicle developed by CIDEP of the Peruvian Air Force. It primarily serves military reconnaissance and disaster response purposes.

History

In 1993, the Project Research and Investigation Center (CIDEP) of the Peruvian Air Force was established to create a simulation system for the Cessna A-37 Dragonfly. The technology used to develop the simulations was eventually adapted over the turn of the 20th century toward UAV development.[1]

On 13 March 2008, a prototype of the UAV FAP was introduced to the public. In 2010, the first UAV flights occurred.[1]

Uses

The UAV FAP serves primarily for military reconnaissance and intelligence purposes. Some UAV FAP variants are solely used for training purposes. The UAV FAP can also be used during disaster situations to survey areas from above.[1]
