Pink Research and Development Center presents first Serbian drone on its first anniversary

The innovative domestic company PR-DC celebrated its first anniversary by unveiling its product – the first Serbian drone. PR-DC is a vertically integrated company that conceptualizes, designs, develops, and manufactures drones, aircraft, and software for their control and management.

The drone, named RW 20, was showcased. It boasts a payload capacity of 20 kg and an energy autonomy of 30 minutes. The aircraft is equipped with state-of-the-art technology for self-guidance and manual control, making it suitable for various missions. „The RW 20 is just over a meter long and very convenient for rapid deployment to mission sites,” highlighted Željko Mitrović.

Project leader Miloš Petrašinović explained that the aircraft can fly remotely and perform missions autonomously, guided from a control center in the city. „The RW 20 enables missions such as carrying film cameras, firefighting, delivering water and food, and transporting emergency equipment to hard-to-reach places,” said Petrašinović. The aircraft is entirely produced in Serbia and designed by mechanical and aerospace engineers.

„This type of aircraft has the capability to carry about fifteen fire-extinguishing balls. It's important to commercialize such products and provide opportunities for young engineers to work in a world-class company. The RW 20 is about twenty times larger than commercial drones and can perform rescue missions,” added Petrašinović. The project, typically completed in five years, was finished by PR-DC in nine months.

Željko Mitrović emphasized that PR-DC has already produced an industrial drone with a payload of one kilogram, a flying car with a payload of 100 kilograms, and is now starting production of the RW 20 drone. „Our desire for the freedom of flight brought us together, and today PR-DC represents a mature and competitive company,” concluded Mitrović.

During the first anniversary celebration, gratitude was extended to the entire team who worked diligently on the projects with great dedication. „We look forward to new successes and challenges and believe we will respond to them with the same energy and commitment,” said Miloš Petrašinović.
