Kaizen Aerospace, a heavy-lift autonomous aerial systems company, has signed a Memorandum of Cooperation with Uzbekistan’s Ministry of Agriculture and the State Scientific-Design Institute “Oʻzdavyerloyiha.” The agreement establishes a framework for deploying UAV technologies across Uzbekistan’s agricultural sector.
Drone Deployment Across 300,000 Hectares
The memorandum targets evaluation of drone operations across up to 300,000 hectares of intensively cultivated cotton fields. That scale represents a significant potential deployment for agricultural UAVs in Central Asia. The framework covers professional training, joint scientific research, methodology development, and UAV infrastructure buildout.
Specific areas of planned cooperation include:
-
Establishing a UAV training and professional development center
-
Conducting online and in-person seminars and knowledge exchange programs
-
Creating a technical maintenance and service center for UAVs
-
Developing methodologies for effective drone usage in agriculture
Roles and Responsibilities
Under the framework, Kaizen Aerospace contributes drone technology expertise and operational know-how. The Uzbek partners — the Ministry of Agriculture and Oʻzdavyerloyiha — provide local servicing infrastructure and agricultural inputs.
Kaizen Aerospace builds on the Powerus autonomous architecture, integrating shared autonomy software, power systems, and scalable manufacturing into high-payload platforms. The company focuses on industrial, defense, and critical infrastructure missions.
Non-Binding Framework
The Memorandum of Cooperation carries no financial commitments or legally binding obligations for either party. It serves as a foundation for further discussions and potential definitive agreements. Both parties have expressed a shared interest in leveraging UAV technologies to improve agricultural efficiency, productivity, and sustainable development in Uzbekistan.
