Design Development of Long-Range Surveillance and Targeting Drone (LR-STD)
Develop an autonomous VTOL system capable of carrying out ISR and provide targeting data, when required, to own forces at extended ranges. The system shall be capable of operating beyond 700 nm from own ships with capability to undertake horizontal flight post launch, have an endurance of at least 10 hours with AUW ≤ 150 Kgs, have low RCS and payload with following capabilities:-
1- High resolution EO/ IR camera
2- Artificial Intelligence for target identification and tracking.
3- GoI approved high data rate SATCOM for communication and data transfer.
4- Provision for installing ESM, light weight radar and communication relay set.
5- On-board AI powered object detection, identification and tracking software enhancing Full- Motion Video (FMV) analysis by accurately identifying and tracking both stationary and moving targets at sea.
6- Speeds – Max ≥ 100 kn; Transit ≥ 80 kn; Loiter ≤ 40 kn.
