Unmanned Helicopter

Education Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal Nishank on Tuesday congratulated the professors and students of IIT Kanpur for developing an unmanned drone, that looks like a helicopter, and said he is hopeful that the drone will be very helpful in times of natural calamities.

A joint operation, involving multiple agencies including an Indian Navy helicopter team, is underway to assess the condition of a naphtha gas-carrying tanker, which drifted off the shores near Panaji earlier this week.

It was unmanned for its maiden test run in a ceremony arranged for Dubai Crown Prince Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed.

China has put on display its first unmanned combat helicopter AV500W for foreign buyers in the northeastern Tianjin city in a bid to enlarge scope to market its military drones abroad, a media report said today.

A civilian was killed and two soldiers were injured as terrorists ambushed an army patrol in south Kashmir's Shopian, where a huge anti-terror operation across villages and orchards was in progress. The attack came around 7 pm as the day-long operation -- monitored from air by helicopters and unmanned vehicles -- was winding up.

The government will spend Rs 67,000 crore on made-in-India military hardware, with a defence ministry panel today clearing the purchase of 83 Tejas Light Combat Aircraft, 15 Light Combat helicopters and 464 T-90 tanks.

The US Navy successfully flew its new unmanned helicopter MQ-8C Fire Scout system for the first time, from the guided missile destroyer USS Jason Dunham, off the Virginia coast recently.

The US has a number of "ground-breaking" defence technologies, including a helicopter and an unmanned aerial vehicle programme, to offer to India for co-development and co-production, a top Pentagon official has said.
