NETRA UAV In Action - Indian Army [ Drone of 3 Idiots ]

And they did the unimaginable. NETRA is a completely autonomous hovering Unmanned Aerial Vehicle ideal for short range missions and requires very short training time. Its intuitive point and click graphical user interface requires minimal user assistance allowing the user to concentrate on the mission objective rather than the flying of the vehicle. Its quick deployment time and vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) ability expand its usage to confined areas of operation. It finds application in Anti-terrorist operations, Counter-insurgency in forested areas, Hostage situations, Border infiltration monitoring, Local law enforcement operations, Search and Rescue operations, Disaster management, Aerial Photography and more.

As a 50-member consortium, instead of small isolated units, they built an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) called Vihang Netra for the Armed Forces. They pooled their resources in domains, going all the way from aerospace, avionics, navigation, sensors, radars, fuses, smart weapons, radio networks, thermal imaging, image processing, safety equipment, ground support equipment for missiles and quality assurance equipment.

The UAV has been accepted by the Indian Army since units have flown at an altitude of 1,000 feet above mean sea level (MSL), requiring smaller crew and ground support operations against imported variety. So, to explore the potential of this indigenous development, DEMA has formed a strategic partnership through an MoU with Larsen & Toubro.

How can ordinary Jawan use an Laptop? Wont it be easier for him to use an joystick and Display instead of an Laptop with English commands?

[utubekhiladi]

@KarthikSoun

Our jawans are well trained and educated. they have good command in English and ya they know how to operate a laptop. :)

SUPERB!! Awesome job.....the Indian Army will find this so useful..... Will be perfect if the nano version come out too...

[utubekhiladi]

@ZenChat

nano version is already out and undergoing user trails. however the information is kept as classified.

[044930]

how does it sounds or it is completly silent

[utubekhiladi]

@044930

it runs on electric motor powered by batteries. it does produce mild sound but you won't hear it when the UAV is airborne.

[patilcn1]

only innovative people can make India world leader.

[cameo24anand]

@BosniskPatriot why?

[tilopa07]

Wow!

Awesome..

how many creative minds like these we waste in chasing ranks and marks...

we need a drastic change in the edu system

[Sukhoi6172]

@karthiksoun there is specific training needed. So english ain't a problem.

[panky2sharma]

@utubekhiladi UTK this is Godless-Kafir from Defense forum of India. How are you mate? Not comeing to DFI these days? Also your comment sounds a bit overzealous the average foot soldier will find it hard to use an English based laptop or Operating System. Not all Jawans know english by the way!!
