@PARIKRAMA
I request you some clarity about the mini UAV which army wants to procure. USA was offering Raven which had a TV/Thermal imager, hand launched, with an endurance of 1.5 Hours, but Army rejected it because of its lower service ceiling( 150 meters ), which was necessary for relaying good quality of picture/data.

1. What are the exact requirements of Army in this field?
2. What are the possible candidates ( foreign ones)?
3. I read somewhere that some of our private companies were offering something similar, but it could carry only a colour camera or a Thermal imager at once. Are these Thermal imagers or Colour cameras at par , with the one used aboard the Raven, which can do surveillance above 1000meters?

4. What is the status of Imperial Eagle program?

A thanks in advance.

The tank is a T-90. The exercise is from 2011. It was carried out to validate quick striking tactics and to enable co-ordination between the IAF and IA. It was called Sudarshan Shakti, as mentioned by
@Water Car Engineer , because the Corps used in the exercise was the Bhopal based XXI Corps, also known as the Sudarshan Chakra Corps. This is an offensive strike formation of the Indian Army.

This exercise was one of the largest conducted by Indian forces in the recent past.
