The drone BHUJANG is India’s first super high altitude multi rotor multi – role drone, achieving an astonishing altitude of 1,500-meter AGL (Above Ground Level) from 4,800-meter-high take off point, with a maximum altitude of 6,300 meter. It is also South Asia’s first drone with combat, transport and surveillance capabilities in single aircraft.
Defence establishments are in dire need of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) capable of performing multiple tasks using same platform. Currently, the drones available can only perform single task. Moreover, there are hardly any UAVs available which can operate at ultra-high altitude.
