Precision-guided munitions (PGMs) that can be launched from Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) will be test-fired by the Defence Research and Development Organisation in a couple of months, Scientific Advisor to the Defence Minister Avinash Chander said. PGMs are target-specific and meant to prevent collateral damage.

City-based Research Centre Imarat (RCI) had played a major role in the development of the PGMs, Mr. Chander, who is also the DRDO’s Director General, said at the RCI’s silver jubilee celebrations held here on Monday.

He also lauded the RCI for its contribution in every field of missile technology — from Prithvi to the long-range Agni systems.

Calling for miniaturisation of the systems to increase the accuracy of missiles, he said a major thrust was on bridging vital gaps in developing advanced seekers, sensors and actuators. Future challenges included the development of navigation and telemetry on chip and that of loitering weapons with 80 per cent explosives and 20 per cent avionics.

RCI Director G. Satheesh Reddy said plans were afoot to extend the range of guided smart-bombs from 30 km to 100 km.

Former President A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, who was the founder of RCI, emphasised the need for collaboration between various disciplines and said that convergence of bio, nano and information technologies with the environment was the new-age model.

Governor, E.S. L. Narasimhan urged scientists to forecast technological challenges and identify key areas while embarking upon R&D projects relevant to national needs. He said cybersecurity would be one such important area.

Chief Controller, (Missiles and Strategic Systems ), V.G. Sekaran, former DRDO chief V.K. Saraswat and former NTRO Chief K.V.S.S. Prasada Rao also spoke. Former RCI directors, including Dr. Kalam, were felicitated on the occasion.
 
:woot: :woot: :woot:

PGM built in India???some rip off of Sudarshan LGB I think...might be a longer range version..but then again,PGM for UAV must have to be lighter..and also,30 km range of PGM??India didn't test Sudarshan-2 LGB yet,right???any info on this PGM??
 
That's all nice to hear.

But where are the drones?

We don't have a single indigenous MALE sized drone in deployment, except Israeli Herons that are again foreign.

Rustam-H is not out yet.

Rustam 1 is also not deployed.

AURA is still miles away.

Which drone exactly does DRDO plan to convert into a UCAV? :what:

Wonder if the report is talking about any of that. It speaks instead of a capability of UAVs to launch PGMs.
Does that mean that an existing UAV will be able to launch the PGMs?

May be they are trying something new with this...?

Rustom 1 dosen't have this capability as its max payload capacity is 95 kg

Rustom-2 will have the capability for weaponisation but how much wiil it carry since its payload limit is just paltry 350 km

I think drdo should just shut up and actually make something instead of making only loud claims

Two reasons why it is like that:

1- It is a sarkari kampanee with gaaraantee of naukri.

2- Because of 1, babu sahabs run the kampanee.

It is nowhere close to capable of lifting that kinds of payloads my friend.

Look at the specs of an RQ-9 Reaper and that of IAI Searcher.

World of difference.
 
Rustom-2 will be out in next 6 months , and most likely will come with PGM carrying capacity
 
Rustom 1 is a joke as no one has actually seen it since being tested at around 2009.

Rustom 2 will be first tested in 2014!!!just imagine how many more years will it take for it to be actually operational!!

And ppl actually think that we will make aura in this decade,,,,stop deluding urself ppl,,,this chai biscuit organization is good for nothing

Rustom-2 will be out in next 6 months , and most likely will come with PGM carrying capacity
