EndureAir Systems, an Indian defense technology company, has introduced its latest advancement in unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technology – the 'Sabal' series. Designed specifically for military logistics, the Sabal-10 and Sabal-20 drones are poised to revolutionize cargo delivery and battlefield surveillance.
These compact, electrically powered UAVs boast a low audio and visual signature, making them ideal for covert operations where stealth is crucial. Their small size and ease of operation, requiring only two personnel, allow for rapid deployment in forward areas, giving troops a tactical advantage.
EndureAir's commitment to domestic production is evident in the Sabal series, with approximately 65% of the components sourced within India. This not only reduces dependence on foreign suppliers but also stimulates the Indian economy and creates jobs.
The Sabal drones feature a distinctive tubular fuselage design with two ovoid nacelles housing electric motors and two-bladed rotors for efficient propulsion. Batteries and payloads are securely fastened beneath the fuselage, while inverted V-shaped landing legs ensure stable landings even in challenging terrain.
Equipped with a cutting-edge dual electro-optic/infrared stabilized sensor turret, the Sabal UAVs offer long-range observation capabilities, providing valuable real-time intelligence to ground troops.
Additional Open-Source Information
- The Sabal series employs a unique tandem-rotor configuration for enhanced stability and maneuverability, making them well-suited for navigating complex environments.
- A boom rail system enables secure attachment of cargo, facilitating autonomous delivery to designated locations.
