Autonomous HEX-ROTOR RPAS system for counter insurgency and combat operation
“शौर्यम..दक्षम..युध्धेय..! बलिदान परम धर्म !”
In combat scenarios forces need a lethal system which must have high value addition as a mission support element to soldiers . The system must have multi utility and tactical operation capability. We try to design and develop a multipurpose heavy lift VTOL HEX- COPTER which will be value addition at real combat scenarios for forces. The modular design allows it to configure for a specific type of mission.
This heavy lifting platform will act as an airborne transport system at the battlefield . Our goal is to develop an autonomous heavy lift utility unmanned airborne flying platform ,which forces can implement for cargo transport to remote area ( carrying aminitions , fasterd keet , communication devices , food). The specialty of this flying machine is that it can be configured as an UCAV ( unmanned combat air vehicle ) .
One of its variants can carry a motorized gun platform and target acquisition system ( exp. Lessor pointer and locking system ) . It’s another variant can carry a grenade-dropping mechanism.It is capable of dropping ammunition from great heights, while the operator is safely ensconced well behind the front lines.
This multi purpose flight platform can be configured as offensive , defensive , surveillance , transport mode. On board EO /IR Opto electronics sensor shoot capable of Day and night surveillance and reconnaissance operation .This tactical information can be shared to forces at real time with a secured network .
It is capable of network centric warfare which will be a force multiplier decreasing risk to warfighter .These critical intel highly assentian for forcese to execute missions flawlessly without any casualty.
