Pakistan's UAV - Drone developments

[DESERT FIGHTER]

I think all the three divisions must induct these system as soon as possible...

They are already in service...

According to wikipedia Pakistan Aeronautical Complex is involved in the development of the Turkish Anka. Can anyone give me the details of pakistans involvement?

Thanks.

Heard this before too. Probably some parts or research outsourced to PAC to save time and money.We have been making all sorts of drones for quite some time, exported some to the US too. Nothing out of the ordinary between Pakistan and Turkey. Boeing also has some of its parts made there. Might be more or less, this is just my speculation.

Edit:

Found this,

Pakistan, which has for much of the past decade has sought to acquire unmanned aerial vehicles (UCAV), a platform used by the US in Pakistan despite numerous protests by the government, has started export of drone parts.On Monday, officials at the Pakistan Aeronautical Complex (PAC), Kamra handed over the first batch of parts created for the Turkish UAV (ANKA) to the Turkish Aerospace Industry (TAI) in a ceremony held during the International Defence Exhibition and Fair (IDEF) at Istanbul, Turkey.After the signing ceremony, President and CEO of TAI Muharrem Dortkasli expressed his satisfaction on the skill and knowledge possessed by PAC, Kamra for undertaking such assignments.Dortkasli expressed that many more collaborations would be undertaken in the future as well.Pakistan has been seeking access to drones and has experimented in indigenously constructing drones.

If its true then there is possibility of seeing our own design in Predator B class or the same UCAV in our inventory very soon.

So any new UAVs coming???

Pakistan using UAVs in 'drone war' against terrorist elements

Robert Hewson Jane's Air-Launched Weapons Editor - London

Key Points

Pakistan has been using Falco UAVs to help combat militants in the country's remote tribal areas

The Falco has been deployed on surveillance and target 'hunting' missions


Pakistan has quietly been conducting its own 'drone war' against militant forces and terrorist elements using Selex-Galileo Falco tactical unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), Jane's has learned.

According to a number of industry officials who have been in Pakistan and experienced UAV operations there, the Pakistani military is using unarmed Falcos for traditional surveillance tasks but also in a 'hunter' role - targeting air strikes, providing real-time coverage of attacks and then delivering battle damage assessments.

Selex-Galileo has declined to identify the single nation currently flying the Falco in front-line operations but that customer is known to be Pakistan, with Pakistan Air Force (PAF) chief Air Chief Marshal Tanvir Mahmood Ahmed having told Jane's in November that the PAF would begin using the Falco in live operations by the start of 2009.

Pakistan has ordered five Falco systems, each comprising four air vehicles plus one spare and a ground control system (GCS). Two complete systems are now in service, two more are working up to deployment and one has just been delivered.

The Falcos are flying intensively, as noted by one source who told Jane's : "The customer is using more than one system every single day."

The Falcos have operated in several regions of concern to the Pakistan government, including the mountainous Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) along the Afghan border. This was alluded to by an official who noted that the Falco's hot-and-high capabilities had been proven in operations "from airfields at 1,000 m altitude in circumstances identical to Afghanistan".

"The Falcos have two basic missions," said one programme source: "surveillance of critical areas - and there are a lot of them - and operations as part of a manned and unmanned mixed fleet, in combat.

"Surveillance means identifying and tracking critical targets like convoys or 'terrorist establishments'. In hunter operations the Falco goes out looking for targets, identifies them and relays their position to the command and control centre, where priority-one targets are allocated for attack by fast jets.

"The sensor system is world-beating and can easily ID an individual person from the appropriate altitude. The target handover is done through the GCS to the military's C4I system, and it's done quickly - sometimes less than 20 minutes, sometimes less than 10.

"When the attack is inbound the Falco will climb and loiter at a higher altitude. It can provide a real-time view of the attack, although that's over in seconds, and then do an immediate damage assessment. I have witnessed several of these operations. It's not being done on paper; these are real missions."

Selex-Galileo says that, despite customer interest, it has no ambitions to develop an armed Falco for export. An armed variant could materialise if a requirement emerged in its domestic markets (Italy and the UK) but the company believes that having a weapon capability would exclude the Falco from several potential markets elsewhere. "You start to encounter Missile Technology Control Regime regulations and other limitations," said one official.

The current air vehicle has a limited payload and would be restricted to two 30 kg-class weapons - although this would double in planned growth versions of the Falco. Selex-Galileo notes an interest in the Thales Lightweight Multirole Missile (LMM) as a theoretical future weapon option.

The Falco XN - the variant currently in service - has a 420 kg maximum take-off weight (MTOW) with a 70 kg sensor payload. Endurance lasts from eight to 14 hours and the UAV has a datalinked range of 200 km.

Selex-Galileo has now developed the Falco Evo (Evolution) upgrade, which can be retrofitted to existing Falcos. The Evo adds longer wings and tailbooms, increasing MTOW to 750 kg with a 120 kg payload. Endurance is increased to a maximum of 18 hours and the Evo can exceed the XN's 6000 m altitude limit.

Selex-Galileo is building four Falco Evo prototypes, with first flight scheduled for the second quarter of 2010. The company believes that its existing customer is a strong sales prospect for the Evo and it hopes to double or even triple the installed Falco fleet there.

Let me give you good news, Pakistan is also developing its own UAVs at a military research Institute near Islamabad.

is pakistan ever going to induct any male or hale uav?

Last time i checked it was Harnesses. All the cabling and connectors used in ANKA were made by PAC Kamra. But Turks had given further parts contract to PAC,of which i am unaware.

I went to get rotis from tandoor when I picked up the news paper I got a article about our drones here are the major points
1: Faisal Jahanzeb from Global Industrial & Defence solutions that indigenous drone technology could be compared to any developed nation including USA.
2: Presently drone technology is being used for surveilliance and development of unmanned aircraft carrying missiles which would be completed in next few months.
3 : Faisal said other features of tactical UAV include accurate lateral, longitudinal trajectory control, mission planning, management and control, geo referncing and geo-pointing for terrestrial targets.
4: He also said for day and night surviellance, GIDS had developed highly stabilized system Zumr-1 ( EP ) which was low in weight and small in size. Zumr-1 has capability to track targets either person, land or any movable objects from the height of 20000 feet besides sending real time video and telemetry through infrared from 250 KM distance.
5: He also told that two different types of technologies- target the object through chip and laser guided targets being used in unmanned armed aircrafts. He also said GIDS was working on both technologies and in next few months, Pakistani drones would be capable to carry missiles and used for combat.

I have heard from a source in SUPARCO that they are ready to tested a locally developed Synthetic Aperture Radar on an airborne platform. For this purpose a team from SUPARCO is currently in PAC Kamra and a test flight is expected around 10th to 18th of June 2015. I doubt it will be reported in the news as it has little propaganda value (unlike lets say a flashy missile test).

I couldn't fish for any more details and I obviously can't give or name a source but this is very good news for us
