Bengaluru: Bharat Electronics Ltd develops UAVs to secure airbases, gather intel

Defence PSU Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL) has developed tethered Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) which are ideally suited for applications that require more endurance. It is designed to secure airbases which, the officials pointed out, could prevent attacks like the one that took place at Pathankot Air Force Station in 2016. The UAV system can be used for aerial reconnaissance and intelligence gathering as well.

this chink company showed off something similar to SMART a few years back (similar concept)


does anyone know if anything came of it? Also the US had such tech in the 60s. I wonder why they didnt proceed further with them
Because in 60s usa didn't had proper kill chain without satellites and modern communication systems.

And these days US uses VL -asroc system which is 30-40 km range.
