The Indian Army intends to purchase 10 Runway Independent (RWI) Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems in accordance with DAP-2020’s guidelines for “Buy (Indian)”.
The Runway Independent (RWI) Remotely Piloted Aircraft System is perfect for a dynamic sensor-shooter linkage because it eases the difficulties of fixed-wing launch and recovery while relieving troops of the restrictions of a stationary runway.
Other Important Features
The equipment display console should be able to read out 10 figure grid reference as well as geographic coordinates in degree-minutes-seconds format simultaneously. The geo reference should be based on Indian Military Grid Reference (Defence Series Maps (DSM)). In the Launch and Recovery category, the RPAS should be capable of Vertical Take Off Landing (VTOL).
With a maximum altitude ceiling of 5000 M (16,000 ft) above mean sea level, the operating height should not exceed 4000 M (13,000 ft). Maximum All Up Weight (AUW) endurance of four hours or more is necessary from takeoff to landing.
