Rustom 2 Drone: HAL On Course To Develop India’s Most Ambitious, Powerful UAV Project?

India’s ambitious home grown Rustom 2 medium altitude long endurance drone could be developed by Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) with Private Partnership Such as Larsen & Toubro, TATA, & Godrej Aerospace building most of the components.

Rustom 2, now called TAPAS BH-201, is going to be India’s first indigenously built unmanned combat aerial vehicle having an operational range of 1000 kilometers, with a payload capacity of 350 kg.

The avionics, electronics, sensors, and ground control systems could be manufactured by BEL. DRDO’s Defence Electronics Application Laboratory, Dehradun, was responsible for developing and integrating the data links for Rustom II.

The drone is currently powered by a 180 HP engine and is expected to fly with indigenous engines in the 165-210 HP class, developed by in partnership with Tech Mahindra.

Invisible Soldiers: New Camouflage Sheet Provides Israeli Soldiers With A Cloak Of Invisibility

The Israeli Special Forces will be able to blind the adversary’s peering eyes with the camouflage technology that makes the person wearing it on the battlefield nearly invisible.

The technology, developed by Israel based Polaris Solutions Limited, provides multispectral concealment to the soldiers at battle in both thermal and visual & increase soldier battlefield survivability.

Called the Kit 300, the product uses thermal visual concealment (TVC) material to combine microfibres, metals, and polymers that renders soldiers on the battlefield literally invisible to a range of thermal cameras. That makes it ideal for deployment in a range of counter-surveillance missions.

Russia to develop two-seater Su-57 fifth-generation fighter for exports

The Sukhoi Design Bureau and The Russian Defense Ministry plan to develop a two seater Sukhoi-57 fifth generation fighter in its export configuration.

Sukhoi-57 is the first fighter in Russian military service to use stealth technology. The Sukhoi-57 is intended to succeed the MiG-29 and Sukhoi-27.

According to Sukhoi, the multirole fighter is designed to have supercruise, supermaneuverability, stealth, and integrated avionics to overcome the previous generations of fighter aircraft and ground naval defenses. The fighter jet is currently powered by Izdeliye 117 or AL-41F1 augmented turbofans.

These new jets will undoubtedly garner much demand for themselves once they are available in the global market, which will eventually create the need for even more recent technology.

The recent crash of a MiG-21 Bison, that took life of a pilot, in Gwalior has turned the spotlight on India’s longest serving fighter plane. Talking about it, the chief said that the planes do not become accident prone just because of their age and there can be many more reasons for the accident. However, he added that MiG-21 will be phased out in a planned way very soon.
