NAL Inducts Indigenous Kamikaze Drones

- Advertisement -

CSIR-NAL, with support from other CSIR labs is developing India’s own loitering munition, Kamikaze drones, addressing the nation’s security needs.

The National Aerospace Laboratories (NAL) has introduced fully indigenous kamikaze drones to expand India’s defence technology.

The Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) has given in-principle approval for the project, with NAL serving as the central laboratory. This initiative is part of CSIR’s larger effort to strengthen India’s defence arsenal through homegrown technologies. The kamikaze drones, designed for precision strikes, showcase a key advancement in UAV technology.

A notable feature of these drones is their ability to operate in GPS-denied environments, thanks to the Indian NAViC navigation system. This allows the drones to effectively navigate and target even in areas where GPS signals are disrupted, enhancing their operational versatility.

Each drone measures approximately 2.8 metres in length, has a wingspan of 3.5 metres, and weighs around 120 kilograms. Powered by a 30-horsepower Wankel Engine developed by NAL, the drones can achieve speeds up to 180 kilometres per hour and have a range of 1,000 kilometres. They can carry a 25-kilogram explosive payload, making them formidable assets in various combat scenarios.
