Pakistan's UAV - Drone developments

[Sinnerman108]

Its interesting that Iran uses more arab originated names on its UAVs and Pakistan use more persian originated names on its UAVs. Why is that?

Our language URDU is much much closer to Persian than Arabic.

Anyone who knows urdu properly can understand a very good % of persian.

China’s Beihang Unmanned Aircraft System Technology unveiled on 13 November its TYW-1 strike-capable reconnaissance unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and what appeared to be a new version of the BZK-005 multirole medium-altitude long-endurance (MALE) UAV at the company’s new factory in the eastern Chinese city of Taizhou.Unveiled on 13 November China's TYW-1 strike-capable reconnaissance UAV features four underwing pylons and is reported to have a maximum take-off weight of 1,500 kg.

The TYW-1, which has a wingspan of 18 m, features the same pusher-engine, twin-boom, outward-canted stabiliser design of the BZK-005, the latter of which is believed to be in service with the People’s Liberation Army (PLA).

The 9.85 m-long and 2.5 m-high TYW-1, however, is reported to have a maximum take-off weight of 1,500 kg compared with the 1,250 kg of the BZK-005.

According to Chinese media reports, the TYW-1 can carry a 370 kg payload, features four underwing pylons, has a ceiling of 7.5 km, an endurance of 40 hours, and can reach a top speed of 200 km/h.

The UAV is also equipped with an electro-optical system that can reportedly read a licence plate 50 km away from an altitude of 5,000 m. It also features both line-of-sight and satellite navigation and control systems.

The company also displayed what appeared to be a new version of the BZK-005 featuring a system mounted under the UAV's nose that could be electronic support measures (ESM), a radar, or a communication relay.

First revealed in a poster at the Airshow China 2004, the BZK-005 is believed to be in service with units of the People’s Liberation Army Navy Air Force (PLANAF) as well as with a special group subordinate to the Joint Staff Department of the Central Military Commission.China's Beihang Unmanned Aircraft System Technology displayed on 13 November what appeared to be a new variant of the BZK-005 UAV.

In early April 2016 the BZK-005 was spotted on Woody Island in the South China Sea, and in September 2013 Japan Air Self-Defense Force F-15J aircraft intercepted a BZK-005 flying near the disputed Senkaku/Diaoyu Islands.

Beihang Unmanned Aircraft System Technology is an offshoot of the Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics (BUAA), which originally developed the BZK-005 together with the Harbin Aircraft Industry Group.

Chinas Beihang Unmanned Aircraft System Technology unveiled Monday , November 13, its new TYW-1 strike-capable UAV. With a wingspan of 18m, the TYW-1 drone features the same outward-canted stabiliser design as seen on the BZK-005 multirole medium-altitude long-endurance (MALE) UAV (believed to be in use with the People’s Liberation Army), and is approximately 9.85 m-long and 2.5 m-high. Featuring an electro-optical system that can reportedly read a licence plate 50 km away from an altitude of 5,000 m, it also can carry a a 370 kg payload, features four underwing pylons, has a ceiling of 7.5 km, an endurance of 40 hours, and can reach a top speed of 200 km/h. Also displayed was an upgraded BZK-005 complete with a system mounted under the UAV’s nose that could be electronic support measures (ESM), a radar, or a communication relay.

I dont know how practical this is? but home made UAV is worth using instead of t129s, even it is downed u r learning something out of it and moving towards self reliance and skill building and without putting you best men at risk.

When it comes to UAV ops we are in the learning stage. We've lost 2 falco and a few others. There has been only one instance of using a armed UAV against militants albeit successfully.

Different GPS like Russian, Chines, European do they share information with each other?

To me the best drone "conventional" design that could be extended to suite Pakistan needs is "EADS Talarion"

The EADS Talarion is a Medium-altitude long-endurance (MALE UAV), designed by EADS , for aerial reconnaissance, military intelligence, and aerial surveillance. Avionics will be built by Saab. In May 2011, a group of Turkish suppliers, led by Turkish Aerospace Industries, joined the project by signing a (MoU) with EADS Cassidian for the Talarion UAV programme. The Talarion UAV mockup was unveiled by EADS at the 2009 Paris Airshow as a European alternative to the American Global Hawk system.

Characteristics
=============================
Length: 32.81 ft in
Wingspan: 91.86 ft in
Height: 11.32 ft in
Empty weight: 3,200 kg
Gross weight: 10,000 kg

Maximum speed: 630 km/h
Range: 16,000 km
Service ceiling: 49,213 ft


Payloads are held in a belly bay. Wings are straight appendages and mid-mounted along the sides of the fuselage. The powerplant is embedded at the rear of the fuselage and aspirated through a top-mounted intake ahead, and at the base of, the single vertical tail fin. There are a pair of low-mounted horizontal tailplanes at the rear. The Talarion would be powered by a turbofan engine of unknown make and model, though an installation providing the needed thrust at the operating altitudes required. Reports indicate that the Talarion might, indeed, showcase two engines instead of one as in the Global Hawk (a Rolls-Royce branded turbofan engine). Its wingspan is a reported 92 feet.

The Talarion would remain unarmed (as with the Global Hawk) and serve in the intelligence-gathering role - a vital service in any war.

As it stands, the program has not evolved as expected, largely due to a lack of interest even amongst European powers. The Talarion may still compete in several upcoming UAV programs but its future remains in doubt - particularly with the glut of UAVs arriving to market in the coming years.

Just learned something very interesting and also credible, CH-4 UAV did the target recon and designating job for the USAF F-15E in a Middle East country. https://t.co/TwM2qkk9Aq
