Pakistani company produces country’s second drone technology

Still not 100% indigenous !
Enough for the time being - one at a time. It'll only go upward from now on inshaAllah. When Herons were bought it was found that a key component is missing for the manufacturer had "forgotten" to insert the card. The birds were basically proxies sending sensitive info to a third party, so surveillance sorties were basically protecting PKK terrorists. At the least, this is eradicated...

Read the article carefully. The Integrated Dynamics Arrow is an 'optionally piloted vehicle' (OPV). It seems that ID used (or possibly developed) an ultra lightweight platform that can be manned and piloted conventionally or flown remotely. It might be this twin engine design seen here.

As for the question of whether this is a foreign design. I actually took a look at what's out there, and the ID Arrow seems to be much lighter and smaller than what's available. Sabri Khan (ID CEO) said it has a payload of 100 to 150 kg. Even the Mushshak can carry near double that. Seems like ID will be building the prototype soon.

Confirm what??

Aray Areesh babu Shah Sahib poch rahay thay:

(The best civilian application of the long range aerial surveillance aircraft {Arrow} is that it is capable of monitoring and making secure trade via the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC),” said Raja Sabri Khan, Chief Executive at Integrated Dynamics.)

Tau main nay socha khud ja kay maloom ker loon bhai ka bojh halka ho jaway ga.

No Sir. Its Single Engine. Same Design like Burraq & Shahpur Drone without Canard.
The Drone has Canopy.

Where did it say most advanced ?

Sorry !!!

It says even advanced drone :unsure:

KARACHI: A private Pakistani company, which designed and produced the country’s first drone called ‘Buraq’, has now come up with an even advanced drone aircraft technology, which can remain in the air for up to 15-hours and be utilised for surveillance of development projects among other uses.

Pakistani company produces country’s second drone technology

KARACHI: A private Pakistani company, which designed and produced the country’s first drone called ‘Buraq’, has now come up with an even advanced drone aircraft technology, which can remain in the air for up to 15-hours and be utilised for surveillance of development projects among other uses.

“The best civilian application of the long range aerial surveillance aircraft {Arrow} is that it is capable of monitoring and making secure trade via the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC),” said Raja Sabri Khan, Chief Executive at Integrated Dynamics.

Drones, deaths and incredulity

The aircraft, which can be operated via remote control, has been put on display at the defence weapons exhibition, IDEAS 2016, which is to get under way on Tuesday (today).

Sabri said the surveillance system can be operated via remote in the range of 250 kilometers (or 150 miles). “If you operate it on a satellite system then its range becomes unlimited. You can operate it in any part of the world while sitting in Karachi,” he said.

He said the unique feature of the aircraft is that it can fly non-stop for up to 15 hours. “The feature is not available in any other such system at this economic cost … its price is not more than a valued 4X4 jeep,” he said.

It can be used to pinpoint leakages of oil and gas from long-laid pipelines like the ones managed by Pakistan Petroleum Limited, Sui Southern Gas Company and Sui Northern Gas Pipeline Limited. At the same time, it can be used to monitor and secure sensitive sites, he said.

The system can also be used by geologists and agriculturalists for collecting required data on earth or farms.

It can fly even at nighttime. “You just feed the data regarding the route you want the drone to take and sit back,” he said.

Besides, the aircraft is also capable of carrying military weapons and equipment. “It can fly with a payload of 100-150 kilogrammes,” he said.

“Arrow is a revolutionary new concept in aerial surveillance using optionally piloted vehicle converted ultra-light aircraft,” he said.

With field portability, and a one-hour assembly time on site with the wing-fold system, “it is a great armament, payload delivery, and stands-off surveillance platform,” he said.

“It can be packed in a standard truck-mounted 20-foot container,” he said.

The aircraft would be prepared in Korangi, Karachi. It is the result of 15-20 years research work, added the official.

He said that his company exports such military and civilian surveillance systems across the world, while western countries remain its big clients.

Good on you keep it up, with all the new technological tits and bits.
