Can you break this for us - what exactly are problem areas ? Pakistan cruise missiles use a small jet engine, how then should we take suggestions that Pakistan are unable to develop propulsion? Is it optical equipment? is it fire control? -- can you just please explain where the problem is?
How can you can this?? Can't you see propulsion system of CM Babur.Antibody
Pakistan are unable to develop propulsion??
any source from where did you heard it..According to my source our first arm drone is not buraq but it is shahpur , this bird has been already tested and completing its trail with a self made weapon, also i head Ra'ad ALCM range has been extended to 1000 plus km.

We all are still waiting on an Armed Indigenous UAV as of yet we have heard or seen non.
Does it mean Pakistan will rely on China and Turkey for the next couple of decades. The number of UAVs are increasing.
It is understandable that many equipments and other sensors suite, weapon, and data-link etc are required but they too are not some alien technologies China and Turkey can help in this regards.
Someone mentioned K-8 Engine, I did mention K-8 as a UAV platform and its engine on this forum a long time ago, K-8 could be used as a UAV plaform If PAF puts an effort into it a limited numbers could be developed for WOT and for the use in long run, radical idea I presume to others?
I do not believe the problem is acquiring technology and equipment, I guess the problem is funds and UAVs not being given the level of priority. We have to try you strive and try to make something out of nothing or anything this psyche of waiting and waiting for someone to come to help to end but well who are we talking about!

Source ? and whats CHIAN ? Who told you about the GCU and what it was able to do ?as far as the biggest problem in developing the UAV's are concerned.. its not the power plant but its the GCU (ground control unit) for which we're totally dependent on CHIAN and others.
i've heard that the GCU that pakistani engineers developed was only able to Taxi the bird for a shorter distance LOL..

There are much more knowledgeable members than you who are telling exactly the opposite thing ... So i will take their word ... Pakistan's been building UAV for almost 2 decades with exports to US ... and you think we cant build a damn GCU ?
Continue standing by your opinions ... I am not trying to force mine on you ...em not asking you to believe me. em just telling you what i know.. now its upto you how you take it. as far as GCU is concerned, its not just three letter word but much above than an ordinary person's thought, you said pakistan's uav's have been exported to USA, any details about the specifications of those UAVs? what kind of GCS have been utilized for them, where did it come from? any idea from you side. The idea behind developing a GCS that controls a combat UAV flying at thousands of Km away from its station with hundreds of parallel control commands being transferred and handled to very minute accuracies is not as simple as you think. i don't know what you're up to but i can stand by my opinion. its just because i know doesn't matter how...

the systems that you've mentioned i did study on the integrated system website from where u got them and these are limited range system with data transmission limits and can only be used for small systems. not for a UACVContinue standing by your opinions ... I am not trying to force mine on you ...
and about GCU ... Did you bother reading the thread or chose to believe the usual propaganda that Pakistan has to import/reverse engineer everything ? As for Pakistan being dependent on China for Ground Control Stations ... Here's some info for you
