POF with the same century old now obsolete guns, world has moved on, anyone with money gonna buy latest stuff not what POF markets.

It's high time POF get a license to manufacture new light weight small arms, working with east European countries in this regard would be a good place to start.

UAVs from Pakistan - IDEX 2013 | IHS Jane's

UAVs from Pakistan
By: David Donald
Published: 21 Feb 2013
Having been previously shown at the IDEAS exhibition in Karachi, a number of UAVs from Global Industrial and Defence Solutions (GIDS) are making their first international appearances as part of IDEX’s Unmanned Systems Area (U-006).

GIDS is exhibiting five UAV designs, ranging in size from the hand-launched Scout to the 6.6m span Shahpar.

GIDS has developed all the systems for the medium-range tactical Shahpar, with the exception of its Rotax 912 engine. The suite of indigenous systems includes the fully autonomous control system and the Zumr-I (EP) multisensor turret. The vehicle has a 50kg payload capability, and an endurance of more than seven hours. The Shahpar has completed its test and qualification phase, and is now in production for the Pakistan Army and Air Force.

The smaller Uqab tactical UAV, part of a family developed by the Xpert division of GIDS, has been in service with the Pakistan Army and Navy since 2010.

Its 50hp engine gives it a ceiling of 3,000m and an endurance of six hours. Uqab takes off on a wheeled undercarriage from conventional runways, but the Pakistan Navy had a requirement for a zero-length launch version, primarily for shipboard use. GIDS modified the Uqab to cater for a rocket-boosted launch and parachute recovery, resulting in the Huma that is undergoing trials now. GIDS is showing two man-portable systems. The 8kg Sentry can be wheel- or rail-launched, and comes in two versions. With a small petrol engine, the long-range model can fly more than an hour, while the short-range model is powered by a brushless electric motor, giving it about 45 minutes of silent operation. Also on display is the 4kg Scout, a hand- or catapult-launched mini-UAV that gives 45 minutes’ endurance from its electric motor before recovering near-vertically by entering a deep stall. Trials of the Scout by the Army are nearly complete and it is now in the process of service induction.

The company has also developed a range extension kit for GP series bombs, which converts general-purpose steel bombs to guided weapons.

they should not go for 5.56 caliber as it is not very combat effective even the american SOF uses 7.62 nato or 300 black out which is ak round neck down to accept 5.56 brass and does not use an m-4/m-16 platform no matter what you do with it it is prone to jamming

they should design a new rifle with 7.62 standard nato round and market that and it should be more then 30 round mag

I think PN should order about 21 of these sytems 14 for Karachi and about 7 for Ormara and Gawadar.

When did I say PA should switch to 5.56? All I am saying is the purpose of participating in international arms exhibitions is to present your stuff to the potential customers, if customers want 5.56 give them 5.56, why would they buy from you if you don't have what they need, and then why waste money on participation?

G3 and MP5 had seen their golden days, now its retirement time for them, people coming to exhibitions want to see and buy the latest stuff, look at the variety Turkey is showcasing. POF did an excellent job in the early 50's/60's when thy acquired the license from H&K, but then they got complacent and did not do anything for the next 5 decades, and the world moved forward by 5 decades in that time.

If you want to survive and compete in the dynamic and rewarding arms market, you need to invest and at least do what is contemporary if not future, selling past does not cut it.
