With a full load, it has a range of 20 km. Its maximum speed reaches 10 km\/h on land and 15 km\/h on water. The drone is powered by an electric motor, while its ability to cross rivers is provided by 24-kilowatt water jets, similar to those used on jet skis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A sealed capsule allows the platform to be used for medical evacuation. The body is equipped with mounts for attaching a protective net to shield the wounded from dropped munitions and FPV drone attacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-text-align-left wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/thedefender.media\/en\/2025\/09\/100-mln-commitments-nunc-capital-verne-capital-varangians-oedipus\/\"><strong>Read more: <\/strong>$100M pledged for Ukrainian defence tech: commitments from NUNC Capital, Verne Capital, Varangians and Oedipus<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The company has been working on the project for a year. One of the key challenges was adapting the machine for climbing steep riverbanks. Initially, the drone was unable to exit the water independently, so the engineers replaced its wheels with two tracks and developed a special suspension. As a result, when driving onto a steep bank, the front track pulls the vehicle upwards while the rear track grips the surface, providing support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In terms of dimensions, the BI34G has been designed to fit into any military minibus. The base version is expected to cost between $25,000 and $30,000. The amphibious drone is currently undergoing codification at the Ministry of Defence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The platform can operate on land and water and transport up to 500 kg of cargo<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":11709,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"pmpro_default_level":"","_featured_category_order":0,"_article_badge":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[32,29],"tags":[127,216,229,807],"class_list":["post-11712","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-innovation","category-startups","tag-drones","tag-industry","tag-startups","tag-usv","pmpro-has-access"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Mavka Technology presents BI34G robotic amphibious drone<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The platform can operate on land and water and transport up to 500 kg of cargo.
