Rustom-2 UCAV | News and Discussions

Super brother. May I know how many hard points it has? It looks like 6? Or it just to support frame

They are not hard points brother !

I don't really know how they are going to mount weapons on Rustom-2 !

Those propellers...

 

[Ram Mahadev]

These ones brother. But I have seen these on passenger aeroplanes too.

Why does it have those propeller, how do they compare to predators

 

[GuardianRED]

Still a prototype PPL, long way to go, Let it take off the ground first!.

 

[SOHEIL]

This is why i said you have to change the design !

In our drones there is no propellers on the wings & we can mount weapons under wings without any trouble:

The landing gear/engine housing will be more aerodynamic in further prototypes. At the moment there is like 2-3 prototypes, there'll be like 10+ prototypes made.

It's long range payload.

IRDE-DRDO developed, VEM Tech produced Long Range Electro Optic

Sorry where did this though came in that the Rustom will be a UCAV? So far all one can see , it is for long endurance surveillance

The initial role is surveillance, but it'll have a UCAV as well. A DRDO official was even presenting that role to a audience in one the aero India.

Rustom 1 tech demo is validating helina on it as we speak.

Rustom 1 is just a Tech Demo?

It's always been a tech demo for Rustom 2, however, the navy has shown interest in operationalizing the platform. I dont know if that is actually going anywhere though.

The Aura UCAV will be having an stealth design. Rustom 2 I doubt was designed with stealth in mind.

But lower RCS is important... Even for non stealthy designs!
