The Indian Navy is developing an in-house Naval Aerial Robotic System (NARS) in an effort to improve its surveillance and reconnaissance capabilities. The goal of this large-scale project is to develop a modular Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) that can fly out of aircraft carriers.
The NARS is intended to be a flexible platform with a modular architecture that enables customization in accordance with mission demands. The airframe, engine, flight control unit (FCU), artificial intelligence (AI) for target acquisition and decision-making, navigation system (which includes the Indian Navigation Satellite System, NAVIC), and the capacity to swarm for improved reconnaissance are among the essential parts. A range of modular payloads will be installed on the system to enable it to adapt to various operational conditions.
