Pakistan UAVs News & Discussions

[Bossman]

The guys are from which air force ? This may give an idea what it is, but its something based on that russian design as pointed by Bossman, may be it is the Russian one.

Burt Rutan's Scaled Composites is based out of California. None of these guys are PAF. It seems Integrated Dynamics borrowed Long EZ airframe design.

Old IdS pic, the guy in white was their lead pilot. Owned a RC shop too.
He left because the owner:chief designer built something this guy said will not fly- owner persisted, machine crashed, he left.

Lots of rumours as to the Strategic UAV like Global Hawk under R&D. Any updates?

How good are the camera's and optics on these? From what I have read, some Army men are of the opinion that the Indians would freak out if they knew how good they were.

Pehlay aik decent MALE uav with attack capability tu bana lain, then next step.

You might be referring to the MALE UAV being developed by AvDI at PAC.

Which one. Share pictures if possible. Thanks

No photos.

You can find the ACM mentioning and discussing it:

Or the Shahpar II at AWC.

Are the cameras made locally?

Can burraq go undetected into enemies territory or it becomes visible on radar ???
Sevondly radar waves r reflected back from airframe, canopy and real combat aircraft also detected bcz of its own radar and IR signature
But these issues are far less in small size drone so y not awc/nescom make stealthy drone if currently it is detected on radar is it too hard just like making 5th gen jet???

None of Pakistani drones are intended to go into enemy territory.

Singapore Airshow 2018: China’s Star Shadow stealth UAV aims to fly in 2019

Star UAV System Co Ltd, a Chengdu-based developer of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), has unveiled its export-oriented Star Shadow unmanned air vehicle (UCAV) concept at the Singapore Airshow 2018.

Specifically designed as a low-observable and highly survivable surveillance and strike platform, the Star Shadow is envisioned to have a maximum take-off weight (MTOW) of 4,000 kg and feature a truncated diamond-shaped airframe measuring an overall length of 7.3 m with sweptback outer wings that have a total span of 15 m. According to the company, this configuration offers radar cross section (RCS) characteristics in the range of 0.1 m².

Control surfaces are built into the trailing edges and upper sections of the fuselage and wings, with a pair of dorsally mounted, low observable engine intakes located on either side of the nose leading to similarly configured exhaust outlets towards the rear of the fuselage.

Take-off and recovery will be effected via conventional means, with the air vehicle fitted with a retractable undercarriage assembly comprising a twin wheeled nosewheel unit and single wheeled main units.

The Star Shadow will also feature a ventral payload bay that measures 2.5 m long, 0.76 m wide, and 0.7 m in depth, with a payload capacity of 400 kg. An as-yet unspecified range of sensors and weapons is being firmed up, although the company declined to provide details at present.

The Star Shadow will be powered by two indigenous TWS800 small turbofan engines developed by the Chengdu Chinese Academy of Sciences Aircraft Engine Co Ltd (CCAS Aircraft Engine), a company founded in October 2014 by a number of public and private enterprises, including the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ Institute of Engineering Thermophysics and the privately-owned Shaanxi Ligeance Mineral Resources Co Ltd.

We should work with them for our future MALE.

Depends on a suitable engine. However the timeline is achievable.
