Polish firm Flaris (an Edge Group entity) showcased an updated prototype of its jet-powered Sinyar LAR3P unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) at the International Defence Exhibition & Conference (IDEX) 2025 show held in Abu Dhabi from 17 to 21 February.
Speaking to Janes, Piotr Ładziński, an aerospace engineer at Flaris, said the Sinyar LAR3P displayed at the event is a functional prototype with refinements to the earlier iteration (LAR1) that was showcased at the Dubai Airshow 2023.
Ładziński said the Sinyar LAR3P is primarily intended for intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) missions but can also execute strike missions as per the requirement. The LAR1 could fly up to an altitude of 34,000 ft but with changes to the engine ratings the present prototype can fly up to an altitude of 40,000 ft. The LAR3P has also been equipped with an additional fuel tank that increases the total fuel carrying capacity by over 1,000 litres. The Sinyar LAR3P has an estimated flight endurance of 18 hours as against seven hours for the LAR1 model, Ładziński added.
According to Edge Group, the Sinyar LAR3P measures 8.3 m in length, has a wingspan of 8.7 m, and a maximum take-off weight of 2,200 kg. It features a maximum payload carrying capacity of 610 kg, maximum speed of 350 kt, and an operational range of 6,000 km.
