IAF TO ACQUIRE 6 TAPAS UAV
The Indian Air Force (IAF) is set to acquire six Tapas drones as part of a larger initiative to procure a total of 97 medium-altitude, long-endurance drones under the 'Make in India' program. This move, led by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), aims to enhance the surveillance and operational capabilities of the Indian armed forces along the borders with China and Pakistan.
The TAPAS UAV, also known as the Tapas BH-201, is a medium-altitude long-endurance (MALE) drone developed by India's Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO).
1. Development and Purpose:
- The Tapas BH-201 was initiated to enhance India's surveillance capabilities along its borders. It is designed for intelligence, surveillance, target acquisition, and reconnaissance (ISTAR) roles.
- The project, originally sanctioned in 2011, has faced several developmental challenges and delays. Despite this, it has achieved significant milestones, including a flight endurance of over 18 hours and an altitude of 28,000 feet.
2. Technical Specifications:
- Altitude: Capable of reaching up to 28,000 feet.
- Endurance: Can fly for more than 18 hours.
- Payload Capacity: Equipped to carry various surveillance payloads, including electro-optical/infrared (EO/IR) sensors and synthetic aperture radar (SAR).
3. Operational Use:
- The Indian Air Force (IAF) and Navy have shown interest in the Tapas UAV for their surveillance operations. The Navy, in particular, is considering its use for monitoring activities in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands.
- A recent acquisition plan involves the procurement of six Tapas drones by the IAF as part of a larger initiative to enhance the capabilities of India's armed forces with indigenous technology.
4. Challenges and Future Plans:
- The Tapas project has encountered difficulties in meeting certain military specifications, leading to ongoing efforts to refine and improve the drone’s performance. The focus is on enhancing its altitude and endurance capabilities to better suit operational requirements.
- Despite these challenges, the DRDO remains committed to the Tapas project, continuing its development and testing to ensure it meets the necessary standards for military use.
