Navigation & Strike

GPS + GLONASS
PRECISION STRIKE

Dual-constellation satellite navigation delivers autonomous waypoint flight with metre-level terminal accuracy. The operator sets coordinates on the rugged OCU — the drone flies itself to the target at 18 m/s cruise. Dual flight modes give complete tactical flexibility: piloted FPV for real-time operator control, or fully autonomous GPS-guided approach for beyond-visual-range engagement.

EO DAY/NIGHT
CAMERA SYSTEM

Front-mounted electro-optical camera with day and night capability streams real-time video directly to the operator's OCU. The pilot sees exactly what the drone sees — terrain, obstacles, and the target — enabling positive identification before engagement. Full on-board video recording captures every mission for post-flight intelligence analysis and battle damage assessment.

Materials & Construction

CARBON FIBRE
COMPOSITE AIRFRAME

The primary structure is precision-cut carbon fibre composite — delivering exceptional rigidity-to-weight ratio at just 580 grams all-up weight. Non-structural components use high-temperature nylon rated for continuous operation across 0°C to 55°C. The 5-inch propeller configuration within a 220 × 220 × 110 mm frame provides the optimal balance of thrust, agility, and portability. Available in Olive Green or Black for low visual signature in tactical environments.

Payload & Safety

120g PAYLOAD
WITH DUAL SAFETY

The payload bay accommodates 120 grams with a secure mounting system designed for expendable mission profiles. The initiating mechanism is strictly remote-activated — the arming switch sits behind a physical safety cover that must be manually released before the system goes live. Triple-redundant failsafe: automatic Return-to-Home triggers on communication loss, low battery warning, or EKF health degradation — ensuring the asset is recoverable if mission conditions change.

Operator Control

RUGGED OCU
BATTLEFIELD READY

The mil-grade Operator Control Unit is built for frontline conditions — shock-resistant housing survives 1.5-metre drops onto concrete without functional degradation. The sun-readable display delivers clear video feed and telemetry even in direct sunlight. Full OSD interface overlays range, groundspeed, altitude, and battery percentage with a crosshair reticle pattern. Compatible with commercially available FPV goggles for immersive piloting, and cross-compatible with other drones in the fleet for multi-platform operations from a single controller.

Deployment & Operations

SINGLE OPERATOR
8-MINUTE DEPLOY

The entire weapon system — drone, OCU, batteries, and field spares — is carried and operated by one soldier. No ground crew, no launch rail, no support vehicle. From backpack to airborne in under 8 minutes. The electric propulsion system produces minimal acoustic and thermal signature, making detection difficult at operational altitudes. Ceiling of 2000 metres AMSL and 150 metres AGL gives tactical flexibility across plains, mountains, and urban terrain. Designed and manufactured entirely in India — Make in India certified.
