Indian UAV Pawan

This is a short range Unmanned Air Vehicle (UAV) being developed by ADE lab of DRDO and HAL.

Development of the short-range, vehicle-mounted Pawan is expected to cost $33.2 million. Meant to equip Indian army divisions, the Pawan will be comparable in size and capabilities to Israel’s Eye View, Hermes 180 and Silver Arrow drones.

The 120-kilogram Pawan will have day-and-night surveillance capability, an endurance of five hours and a range of 150 kilometers. ADE plans to build four Pawan prototypes under this development program, with Israel Aircraft Industries electro-optic sensors for the payload and its own stabilizer platform. The engine will be purchased from outside India.

The photograph shown above is NOT that of any Indian UAV system but of the FULMAR UAV system manufactured by Aero Vision of Spain.

Even the background in the said photograph is of Spain. So please re-check and place a correct photograph. In case the DRDO is copying the Fulmar UAV to its last nut and bolt, well then that is another story.
