PUT UAVs are Chinese UAVs developed by Beijing Pilotless UAV Technology Co., Ltd. (PUT, 北京普洛特无人飞行器科技有限公司), an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) which has traditionally been in the business of manufacturing UAV designs from other Chinese UAV developer, and providing subsystems to these other Chinese UAV developers. PUT has recently expanded its business in the UAV arena by developing UAVs of its own, which are marketed under PLT brand.
