This is LY-B160,also produced locally in BAC is a targetting drone as well a reconaissance ones.It features LOS Data-Link system with GCS and can be reused and a parachute can be used to safely retrieve the system from land or sea.
BAC is now working on an actual sophiscated MALE ( Medium Altitude Long Endurance ) UCAV which will be operational in the upcoming years.
Also,we'll make our own indigneously designed basic trainer whose first flight is scheduled on 2021,which would be similar to the Nanchang PT-6s we have. ( We overhaul and maintain them in BAC )
We also made this low-cost UGV ( Unmanned Ground Vehicle ) developed by BUET ( Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology ) and MIST ( Military University of Science and Technology ).BMTF ( Bangladesh Machine Tools Factory ) is thought to produce these drones,but no official confirmation.

There are other UGVs like the one used by DMP ( Dhaka Metropolitan Police ) & CMP ( Chittagong Metropolitan Police ) for bomb detecting and bomb disposal roles.
Bangladesh's doctrine is to keep the military as secret as possible,so there are alot of drone projects which are going on behind the screen.After all, "If you know your enemy and yourself,you need not to fear the results of a hundred battles" - Sun Tzu.
