BRAVO
Description
BRAVO is a tactical UAV system and operates at ranges of up to 80 km from the operating base. The UAV has an all-composite airframe. The use of the composite not only keeps the air frame weight down but is also very strong and makes it capable of surviving the rigorous battlefield environment. This, as a whole, results in a very efficient system.
The UAV is capable of flying autonomously on a pre-programmed flight plan that can be changed as per requirement during the mission as well. It can carry payloads of up to 15 to 20 kg. The typical payloads in this weight category include FLIR sensors, CCD camera on fixed or gyro-stabilized platforms.
The UAV can be launched by conventional wheeled take-off / rocket boosters (optional) and retrieved by wheeled landing / parachute recovery system (optional). The parachute recovery system can also be used for emergency recovery.
