Bangladesh Navy

For BNS Nirmul, pennant number P813, being a small LPC and having no heli landing pad may not prove to be a problem if a heli situation is warranted.

These days, a small remote-control heli UAV like the

Schiebel Camcopter S-100

is the way to go. It weighs only 200 kg (about the weight of three people), runs on AV fuel and is superbly capable as a Recce and command platform. The Indian and Pakistani navies have held trials on their corvette classes.

Even if we don't get these expensive Austrian remote UAV platforms, mounting a streaming video camera on a large RC copter is not difficult. This class of heli UAVs use easily available (modified/lightened) motorcycle engines and the electronics are ubiquitous. Typically they are used for spraying pesticides (crop dusting) in 1st world countries where use of aircraft is out of the question (arable/sprayable areas are smaller).

Two common Agri UAV's that could be easily converted to Bangladesh Navy or Army usage. For Navy there would be a need to corrosion-proof the drive-line and exhaust components against saltwater spray. These are well-proven agri platforms in use in Japan for the last thirty years and are very reliable.

Interest has been revived in them for use in US as City Police Recce platforms (substitute for full-size helis, lowering expenses) and for patrolling the US-Mexico border.

Me too,but as far as I know,they will be operational after 2017...
Man what I am looking forward to is the countries indigenous fighter jet. That will be a huge achievement. 2021 first prototype due to fly. Highly guarded about current progress. I have a feeling it will be a based derivative of sukhoi 27.

Bro,it WILL be a trainer aircraft,and we dont have any experience at all to make something like the Sukhoi Su-27 Flanker...and as far as I rekon,it will NOT be a jet,rather a turboprob....To be honest,we need more experience with aircrafts....Right now,we only do some maintainance and such light work at the BAC ( Bangabondhu Aeronautical Center ) and we need more experience with aircrafts ( such as manufacturing them under ToT ) to make some good aircraft..It will take atleast a couple of decades before any such things happens....So dont put high expectations over 2021....Thanks ^_^

What do you guys think?

BD doesnt have the experience to build and assemble any aircraft before, not to mention bd doesnt have any resources to backing up such complex industries. Ur statement is a wet dream at best
