Bad news for Pakistan, China as Indian Army gets new unmanned drones capable of carrying payload of….

New Delhi: The Indian Army has been equipped with an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) or drone named Sabal 20 Logistics Drone, developed by IIT Kanpur. The Army received the Sabal 20 Logistics Drone on Wednesday, November 27, from EndureAir Systems, an unmanned aviation technology company affiliated to IIT Kanpur.

This has marked an immense milestone in enhancing logistics capabilities for Indian Armed Forces operating in not easy terrains.

Sabal 20 is an electric-unmanned helicopter based on variable pitch technology, designed specifically for aerial logistics, capable of carrying payloads of as much as 20 kg, which is equivalent to 50 per cent of its own weight, with scalable options for future requirements.

This drone supports stealth operations and is designed for not easy terrains.

The Sabal 20 is specifically designed for not easy and stressful missions. It offers long-range delivery and precision logistics and operates effectively in high-altitude and rugged environments. It truly is an extended way capable of Vertical Take-Off and Landing (VTOL) that enables for operation in confined spaces. The design maintains low revolutions per minute (RPM), reducing noise levels.

Building on the legacy of the Chinook helicopter, Sabal 20 features high efficiency of huge rotors and the extra special load-carrying capability of a tandem rotor configuration. The Sabal 20 helicopter is designed for stability, superior high-altitude performance, reduced turbulence, and extra special payload capacity across varied terrains.

Sabal 20’s capability to function in confined and rugged terrains and low RPM provide it an edge because it ends up in keeping it stealth thereby proving to be useful in sensitive missions.

Sabal 20 is straightforward to manipulate, ensuring reliability in kind of a few conditions. It could possibly operate effectively in Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) scenarios, ensuring reliable performance even when it is miles beyond the line of sight of the operator.

“We are honoured to make contributions towards the progress of the Indian Army modernising its logistics capabilities. With EndureAir’s Sabal 20, we reaffirm our commitment to providing indigenous, innovative UAV solutions that empower our military and make stronger their mission-important needs in diverse environment, ensuring operational excellence,” said Abhishek, co-founder and Director at EndureAir Systems and Professor at IIT Kanpur.
