The military drone market is projected to reach $21.76 billion by 2026, at a CAGR of 12.4% according to a recent report by Fortune Business. 

An innovative military UAV octocopter drone, TIKAD, has been unveiled by Duke Robotics. The drone can engage with troops or lead precision strikes without the need for intrusive action.  It can be used in various military applications including border patrol law enforcement, drone on drone warfare and counter-terrorism. This technology also allows troops to potentially disarm a situation remotely, without ever deploying a ground presence.

The drone is remotely operated, user-friendly and can easily be carried in the field.

It is equipped with a mounted lightweight firearm and advanced stabilization technology. 

TIKAD features a lightweight robotic gimbal with the ability to carry and stabilize payload recoil up to three times its weight. In addition, its gimbal offers real-time, 6 DOF (degrees of freedom), a capability that provides an advantage to U.S. and allied forces in combat. 

The UAV advances military strategy by integrating an aerial support system into combat missions, according to the announcement in newswire.com.
