DRDO to develop UCAV


The Defence Research and Development Organisation will be embarking on developing an Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicle (UCAV), a top official said. The UCAV will be produced as part of a plan to develop defence weapon systems.



"We will be embarking on UCAV, which will be an unmanned aerial vehicle with weapons. This will not only do surveillance but fire on identified targets," Dr V K Saraswat, Scientific Advisor to Defence Minister and DRDO Director General, told reporters here.



All controls of the unmanned vehicle will rest with the Command Control Centres (CCCs) which could be situated at geographically different locations. Even if one CCC becomes defunct, it can be controlled and directed from other CCCs. It will work in a layered manner, Saraswat said.



DRDO has also started work on high-altitude medium endurance UAV.

The best thing they can do is not to make statements. Create projects secretly and announce it only when it succeeded.

You do something long enough you are bound to be good at it eventually.

Its not as if they always miss the deadline.

DRDO to develop UCAV

That normally should kill MCA as a serial fighter development and as I said before it might come only as a tech deonstrator. They are on the right way, although I would love to see a co-development with France, Israel, or even Japan.

Pardon my ignorance, but can somebody tell me what is the difference between a drone and UCAV?
