UAV Platforms
Three platform families, one shared design philosophy — runway independence, mission-first payloads and ground segments operators can actually run.
The platforms
Each platform is built around a specific class of mission, from close-range tactical work to persistent wide-area coverage.
Long-Range Tactical ISR / Multi-Role UAV
Long-Endurance STOL UAV for Tactical Multi-Mission Operations
Arya is a fixed-wing STOL UAV designed for long-endurance multirole tactical missions, including ISR, surveillance, reconnaissance, target acquisition, communications relay and one way attack roles. Its modular architecture supports rapid payload integration and deployment from short or unprepared operating areas.
High speed, medium range, high altitude multirole jet for ISR and Strike capabilities for up to 200 Km
High-Speed, Modular Jet UAV for Extended-Range ISR and Multi-Role Missions
Rudra is a 9-ft wingspan, jet-powered fixed-wing UAV designed for high-speed, medium-range, high-altitude multi-role missions. With up to 45 minutes of endurance and a cruise speed of 280 km/h, it supports ISR and strike missions at ranges of up to 200 km. Its highly modular architecture enables rapid integration of mission-specific ISR payloads and other mission systems.
Medium Altitude medium endurance multirole fixed wing UAV
Modular Tactical UAV for Persistent ISR
Tejas is a tactical fixed wing/ VTOL UAV designed for persistent ISR, surveillance, reconnaissance, target acquisition, and battlefield situational awareness. Its modular architecture supports rapid integration of mission-specific payloads and enables flexible deployment across diverse tactical mission profiles.
Medium-Range Strike UAV
Delta-Wing UAV for Medium-Range Strike Missions
Astra is an 7 ft wingspan, delta-wing UAV designed for one-way strike missions. With up to 3 hours of endurance, a 300 km one-way range, and a 15 kg payload capacity, its compact aerodynamic configuration is optimized for extended-range tactical operations.
Man-Portable Short-Range Tactical ISR / Strike UAV
Man-Portable Pneumatic-Launched UAV for Rapid Tactical Missions
Vajra is a compact, 6-ft fixed-wingspan UAV designed for man-portable deployment and short-range tactical missions. With 45 minutes of endurance, 30 km operational radius, and 1 kg payload capacity, it provides a rapidly deployable platform for localized ISR and mission-specific applications.
Persistent ISR E-VTOL
A blended-wing E-VTOL for continuous surveillance and sensor-cued tracking.
Blackbird brings low signature and wide-area awareness into a single persistent platform, launching and recovering vertically without giving up the endurance of a fixed-wing design.
Tactical Highspeed quadcopter
A compact multi-role platform for reconnaissance, payload delivery and close-range operations.
Runway-independent by design, Albatross keeps the payload and the operator close to the mission — set up by a small crew, recovered without infrastructure, and re-tasked in minutes rather than hours.
Man-Portable Short-Range Tactical ISR / Strike UAV
man-portable deployment and short-range tactical missions. With 60 minutes of endurance, 40 km operational radius, and 2 kg payload capacity, it provides a rapidly deployable platform for localized ISR and mission-specific applications.
Vajra-II is a compact, 8 ft fixed-wingspan UAV designed for man-portable deployment and short-range tactical missions. With 60 minutes of endurance, 40 km operational radius, and 2 kg payload capacity, it provides a rapidly deployable platform for localized ISR and mission-specific applications.
