The Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) is set to deliver the next version of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) Rustam-I. The project has received a sanction of Rs. 1,500 crore from the Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS), according to Dr W. Selvamurthy, Chief Controller, R&D (Life Sciences), DRDO.
“Rustam-H is on the priority list of CCS and work has started on the project. We have already developed a special range for the project at Chitradurga in Karnataka where a runway and air traffic control system have been installed for the testing of Rustam-H. The project should reach a considerable conclusion within next three to five years.” Dr Selvamurthy said.
Rustam-H, the advanced version of Rustam–I, a medium altitude long endurance (MALE) UAV, will be designed for 24 hours of endurance, a longer flying range and 500 kg payload. Bangalore-based Aeronautical Development Establishment (ADE) is the nodal lab for the development of Rustam-H. The software would be provided by Centre for Artificial Intelligence and Robotics (CAIR).
