1,596 kg MTOW. Nice!

@JamD It looks like PAC found a higher-rated engine versus the Anka-A and CH-4.

Basically,

NESCOM: "we got landing gear-"

AvRID: "we designed the largest Pakistani plane."

NESCOM: "...where do you live, sorry?"

Good optics, good munitions, and SATCOM and this thing will be a great UCAV.

Interesting, AESA for UAV? In theory you could install BVR missiles for engaging of enemy aircraft but the performance won't be as good as what can be achieved with fighter jets.


"AESA radar development is also under progress in order to achieve independency and life cycle support and later on integrate the Radar in the target platforms like JF-17, MALE UAV and other systems."

In terms of MTOW, where would this place the upcoming Pakistani drone, among global competitors?

Endurance number?

Is this drone better than predator?

 

[Jungibaaz]

Really impressive specs. 200hp powerplant, 350kg payload, high MTOW, etc.

 

[Philip the Arab]

Is this drone better than predator?

The predator is a very old UAV, this drone is better yes in my opinion if the optics, and munitions are better.

Not sure if this UAV has a SATCOM though to be honest.

What about reaper or global hawk?

 

[Philip the Arab]

What about reaper or global hawk?

Reaper is about 4000 pounds empty and a much higher payload capacity, and the Globalhawk is also much heavier as well.

This drone is more comparable to the TAI Anka.

 

[WaLeEdK2]

Isn’t a height of 3ft a little short?

 

[Xone]

any protype of it?

 

[RadarGudumluMuhimmat]

If PAC has the chance to buy PD170 or PD222, which he will, I laugh if they doesn't use them. Your friendly country has an engine that give 100 HP at 30k feet and can reach a maximum altitude of 40k, and you limit yourself to 25000 feet.
Let the Indian air defenses in Keshmir consider what can and cannot use.

 

[Jungibaaz]

Isn’t a height of 3ft a little short?

Probably a mistake given the shape in the picture, and given that it has similar size to Anka A (which has a a height of 11ft). Probably that 3ft is just clearance?

I would like to see some specs issued by PAC, since these seem like design specifications/goals and not the actual specifications, but let's take these at face value.

Firstly, the height has to be a typo. 3ft makes no sense. We saw the prototype and we are 200% sure it wasn't that small.

The engine. Interesting how it has exactly the same bhp as the Lycoming engine on the Mushaak. Makes sense to have a common engine.

Some rough math:
MTOW = 3520 lb
Armament = 771 lb
Empty = 1980 lb

Fuel(?) = 3520-771-1980 = 769 lb
Fuel Fraction (?) = 769/(3520-771) = 0.28 (for comparison MQ-1 has a fuel fraction of 0.45 or something, which points to lightweight structure)

Fuel Volume(?) = 490 L
Lycoming Endurance = 30-34 L / hr
Endurance of UAV = 14.4 - 16 hr

Decent, but not crazy. Endurance would be very similar to Shahpar II. Payload much bigger.
