1. Bravo.
The Bravo UAV is an 80km-range tactical UAV that will initially perform realtime reconnaissance and surveillance, battle-damage assessment, as well as artillery fire support missions, AWC officials said.
The UAV has an endurance of four hours and can carry a 15-20kg payload, with options to initially include a daytime charge-coupled device (CCD) camera and a forward-looking infrared (FLIR) system. Eventually, AWC officials said they plan to develop electronic countermeasures payloads for the all-composite body UAV. The vehicles, which AWC says can reach speeds of 160km/h, use global positioning system guidance and are capable of autonomous flight operations. The first system of four UAVs, a tactical ground control station with a containerised mission control unit and various payloads, has been delivered to the army for user testing, the officials added. However, AWC is still awaiting firm orders from the army; negotiations for "significant quantities" continue. AWC is also seeking export customers, claiming the Bravo is "substantially cheaper" than existing Western UAVs.
The AWC is also developing the larger Shaspar UAV, which will have a range of 250km and be able to carry a 50kg payload to heights up to 80,000ft. AWC officials say the system is at least 18 months from completion and no firm orders have been received. The Shaspar is expected to carry a daytime CCD camera, FLIR system, and laser rangefinder payloads.
2.Jasoos
Jasoos is a unmanned aerial vehicle designed and manufactured by SATUMA of Pakistan. The Jasoos II Bravo+ variant is currently operational with the Pakistan Air Force.
The Jasoos is controlled remotely from the ground control station (GCS) via a line-of-sight data-link. It can carry a range of payloads weighing up to 20 kg, the standard version being equipped with a daytime and low light camera capable of panning and tilting 360 degrees in azimuth and +/- 105 degrees in elevation. Endurance is stated to be greater than 5 hours.
General characteristics
* Payload: 15~25 kg ()
* Length: 4.27 m ()
* Wingspan: 4.92 m ()
* Height: ()
* Max takeoff weight: 145 kg ()
* Powerplant: 1× 2 cylinder, 2-stroke gasoline engine, 38 hp ()
Performance
* Maximum speed: 130 km/h
* Range: 80~100+ km ()
* Service ceiling: 3048 m (10,000 ft)
* Endurance: 4~5 hr
Avionics
* Electro-optical payload
* Real-time data-link
* Remote control/pre-programmed autonomous navigation system
3.Vector
The VECTOR UAV system caters to the medium-sized UAV/RPV market. The VECTOR system offers modularity, ruggedness and accessibility that is second to none in field operations. With payload capabilities in the 40 kg range, and a nominal price tag, the competitive edge is obvious. The VECTOR airframes use bullet-proof Kevlar molded fuselage pans, Kevlar/Graphite reinforced equipment bays and side stress panels and high-tensile steel aramid-reinforced landing gears. A variety of payloads can be supported with the available onboard power supplies.
The VECTOR UAV systems were specially developed to cover a customer requirement for a family of modular composite airframes that could provide tactical surveillance capabilities in the 160-200 km range. Based on a classical twin-boom pusher layout, the aircraft can be equipped with a variety of stock or modified power plants, including tuned-exhaust and belt-driven modifications. All models support real-time video and data modules and flight avionics for at least 200 km LOS range applications.
A complete system consists of 4 UAV’s; a GCS-2000 Ground Control Station; the ATPS-2000 Antenna Tracking & Positioning System; programming and moving map mission display software; Spares and the GSE-2000 Ground Support Equipment subsystem.
