Would love to see MQ-4C working along with P8Is in IN. NG did presentation for Navy soemtime back in response to the RFI issued in late 2010.

It says Rustom HALE endurance to be 12-15 hours. -- RQ-16B recently did demonstration to Indian Counter-terrorism & jungle warfare forces.

Updates on UAV/UCAV program & consolidated directory of same in asia-pacific region for Oct-2011.

Our COIN forces & IA badly needs HALE drones like Phantom ray. Forces receive live updates in patches in current situation if I'm not wrong. A drone which can stay in the air for days will be massively helpful. That is the 'air support' forces need, not some bomb truck. Also just remaining 200...

Boeing to test new revolutionary drone soon: report The maiden flight of a revolutionary US-made drone aircraft that can stay in the air for up to four days at 65,000 feet, prying at terror safe havens in countries like Pakistan, is just days away. The 'Phantom Eye', made by Boeing's...

India Successfully Conducts Two Flight Tests of Homemade 'Lakshya' Pilotless Target Aircraft India has recently concluded successful flight tests of the advanced version of the 'Lakshya' Pilotless Target Aircraft from the Integrated Test Range (ITR) in Orissa. This latest test...

nEUROn UCAV demonstrator materialises Saab's nEUROn fuselage sections will soon be transported to Istres. After some six years of planning, designing and testing, the ambitious programme to develop a European stealth unmanned combat air vehicle (UCAV) is taking shape. This week, Saab...

I agree on range factor of Rustom. But afterall its a MALE UAV. In future (?) long range UAVs should come up for at least intelligence gathering purpose.

FanWing shows skills as Urban eye in the sky The FanWing STOL UAV technology demonstrator began flight testing in 2007. The FanWing concept uses a cross-flow fan along the span of each wing. The fan pulls the air in at the front and then expels it over the wing's trailing edge. In transferring...

K-Max Unmanned cargo Helicopter

U.S. Army funding unmanned K-Max In late May, Kaman Aerospace announced that it had received a $2.9 million contract from the U.S. Army's Aviation and Missile Research Development and Engineering Center (AMRDEC) to further refine its Unmanned K-Max heavylift helicopter for potential theater...

Unmanned Kaman K-Max makes autonomous flight Kaman and Lockheed Martin (Team K-Max) have demonstrated the ability of an unmanned Kaman K-Max to fly troop cargo re-supply missions autonomously and remotely via line-of-sight and satellite-based line-of-sight datalink. The tests were performed...

I think there is some revision in plans. The Rustom-1 crashed in the first flight, which I believe is depicted in first pic. There will be total 10 test flights, possibly everytime including some design refinement. Still things are not very clear yet, next 6-9 months might clear the picture.

The Rustom-H MALE UAV Detailed

What could be the odds? On a considerable timeframe, it must succeed. But if the project aims much advanced technology then its not becoming reality in this decade. No specifications out yet but I think we should soon have the TV engine with enough thrust to power this UCAV. Regarding Stealth...

First Unmanned VTOL - Camcopter S100 This year, Schiebel's CAMCOPTER S-100 Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) is making aviation history. As the first unmanned VTOL (Vertical Take Off and Landing) System to fly at ILA Berlin, the helicopter will prove its extraordinary skills at Berlin Schonefeld...

Indian UCAV Is A Tongue-Twister: She's Called The "IUSAP" Revealed possibly for the first time here on LiveFist, India's proposed unmanned combat aerial vehicle (UCAV) is being developed under what is called Programme AURA (Autonomous Unmanned Research Aircraft) and the prototype technology...

U.S. Army's UAV Road Map If the Army's plans for UAVs go as planned, the following trends will develop between now and 2035. Unmanned aerial systems could become so individualized that every soldier will have one. The Army envisions a 1:1 ratio of soldiers to handheld UAVs. In...
