Unmanned aircraft control remote controlled artificial Agency for the Assessment and Application of Technology (BPPT) will be operated in 2013, said Minister of Research and Technology, Gusti Muhammad Hatta.
In Sampit, Central Kalimantan Timur Kotawaringin Saturday Gusti Muhammad Hatta said, no doubt because of his ability had been tested at Halim Air Base Perdanakusuma, Jakarta on Thursday, October 11, 2012.

BPPT made five similar aircraft, and the cost incurred to five similar aircraft ranges between Rp 6 billion - Rp 8 billion.
Wulung use 2-stroke engine and to get optimal power, fuel used is pertamax.
Materials unmanned aircraft using composite (glass fiber composition, fiber, carbon) to obtain a light aircraft structures.
"With these aircraft eventually extinguishing forest fires and artificial rain-making no longer need to sprinkle salt on the cloud, and we have found a replacement material, yani named pleer," he said.
Every one kilogram pleer kilogram is equal to one ton of salt and aircraft capable of carrying eight pounds Wulung pleer.
