IAI-HAL NRUAV (Naval Rotary Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) is a rotor-craft project being co-developed by Malat Solutions, a unit of IAI of Israel, and HAL of India for the Indian Navy.〔('India, Israel developing unmanned helicopter' - Times Of India )〕〔(IAI completes unmanned helicopter development work )〕 ==Design and development== The IAI-HALNRUAV project consists of a Malat-made Helicopter Modification Suite (HeMoS) fitted on HAL's ''Chetan'', an upgraded Chetak with Turbomeca TM 333 2M2 engines. The helicopter is planned to be used for unmanned operations and advanced intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) missions from warship decks.〔(Unmanned Chetak Helicopter - IDP Sentinel )〕 IAI-HAL NRUAV will feature automatic vertical Take-off and Landing (AVTOL) from aviation-capable ships and from unprepared landing sites. It is intended to be employed as an elevated mast, which will extend the vessel's coverage over a much larger area, providing early warning and detection of aircraft, cruise missiles, surface vessels and even subsurface activities.〔(India's Military and Civilian Technological Advancements: INDIA' CURRENT & FUTURE UAVs & UCAVs )〕 It is planned to have an endurance of 6 hours and up to a distance of 120 km from the launching vessel. The system is being designed to carry a variety of ISR payloads including SAR, EO, and SIGINT. The project was initiated in late 2008, to be completed in 36-48 months with a budget of . The project is funded by the Indian Ministry of defense 〔(India lines up Israeli drones in race with Pak - Times Of India )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「IAI-HAL NRUAV」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
