The move from conventional to sub-conventional warfare, available and cost-effective technology and increasing safety of Defence forces have led to the rising demand and use of unmanned systems. Among air, water and ground unmanned systems, air systems affords the maximum maneuverability, speed and durability - making these systems excellent tools for reconnaissance, surveillance and combat activities. In 2009, Singapore launched the SKYBLADE III - the first indigenously designed and produced mini unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) system while regional and international demand is driving technology in this area.
In February 2009, Singapore hosted the inaugural Unmanned Systems Asia conference. With over 60 participants, the event focused on providing Asian Defence Forces the latest technologies and capabilities for the effective use of unmanned systems for both military and civil Defence applications.
With expertise from both regional and international speakers tackling a range of issues, delegates of Unmanned Systems Asia 2009 were able to gain valuable insights into the research developments and case studies of best performing unmanned systems power in Asia
“Unmanned Air Systems Asia is crucial to attend because it will provide an updated status of the regional issues and challenges of Unmanned Systems induction in the military and civil arena,” Dr. Arvind Kumar Sinha, Director of Engineering - Helicopter Systems Division, DEFENCE MATERIEL ORGANISATION, AUSTRALIA
Unmanned Air Systems Asia will host local and international expert speakers and delegates from:
LAKSHYA
Inducted in the Indian Air Force and Indian Navy in April 2002, Lakshya is a surface/ship launched high subsonic reusable aerial target system, remotely piloted from ground. It provides training to the gun/missile crew and to air defence pilots for weapon engagement. Developed by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) of India, it is now fully operational with the users.
NIGHT INTRUDER 300
The Night Intruder 300 is an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) developed by Korean Aerospace Industries. It will perform reconnaissance, surveillance, search and rescue, damage assessment, and target acquisition missions over the battlefield and is designed to meet these requirements of the Korean Army. Providing commanders and intelligence officers with near real-time imagery during day/night and all weather conditions, it is currently in production and delivery process. It has been designed to operate at ranges of up to 120km from the ground control station using a line-of-sight data-link and 200km employing a relay system for beyond line-of-sight operations.
ALUDRA
A locally designed UAV, the Aludra is manufactured by Malaysia’s CTRM subsidiary company, Unmanned Systems Technology Sdn Bhd and is already being tested under operational conditions in Sabah, Malaysia. With a range of 150km (the maximum limit of its data link) and an endurance of six hours, the capabilities and challenges of Aludra will be discussed by our guest speaker LTC (Rtd.) Mohd Radzi Ahmad Tajuddin from the Unmanned System Technology Sdn Bhd, Malaysia.
