NewSpace to Unveil Long-Endurance Helicopter UAV at Aero India 2025, Featuring Stealth Design and Tri-Sensor Capabilities for Day-Night Surveillance

NewSpace Research and Technologies is set to make a significant splash at Aero India 2025 with the unveiling of its latest innovation: a long-endurance helicopter unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV).

This cutting-edge aircraft distinguishes itself through a unique design incorporating a streamlined body and a tail rotor, a configuration that promises both enhanced efficiency and improved stealth characteristics.

The aerodynamic design is expected to contribute to superior flight performance, positioning this UAV as a potential disruptor in the field of aerial surveillance and reconnaissance.

Beyond its novel design, the helicopter UAV is equipped with an advanced tri-sensor gimbal camera system. This sophisticated system suggests the capability for comprehensive day and night surveillance, encompassing thermal imaging and high-resolution photography.

Such a versatile sensor suite makes the UAV adaptable to a wide range of applications, including border security, disaster management, and military intelligence. The ability to gather diverse data in various conditions makes it a valuable asset for both defence and civilian operations.

NewSpace Research and Technologies will provide detailed technical specifications of the UAV at Aero India 2025. Industry professionals and attendees are particularly interested in learning about the UAV's endurance capabilities, which could potentially set new benchmarks for long-duration flights for helicopter-style UAVs.

In the context of evolving defence technology, where extended operational range and autonomous functionalities are increasingly important, the UAV’s range, payload capacity, and sensor integration will be key areas of focus.

Aero India 2025, a leading air show in Asia, provides an ideal venue for NewSpace to showcase the potential of this UAV in both modern defence strategies and civilian applications.

In line with India's emphasis on indigenous defence production through the "Make in India" initiative, NewSpace's latest development highlights the nation's growing prowess in aerospace innovation.

The event will offer a platform for NewSpace to demonstrate the UAV's potential contributions to national security and technological advancement.

Which engine?

 

[hector1001]

Do they have a working prototype - or just a model + CGI + made up specifications. OR is this the standard BS I have been reading about for 10+ years.

There are like 10 new UAV products that are talked about everyday in here. Which one of the company actually designed their own Electric motor and batteries or turbine engine or optical sensors and cameras? My guess is probably none.

Whichever can show IP for new design of electric motor or batteries or turbine engine or optical sensors should get the orders. Nobody cares if you import all your components from west and just cobble them together.

Lol not everything can be made suddenly that too by starting companies with limited budget. You don't seem to have an idea of engineering works. Costs are a real part of engineering.

As companies get matured then they can indiginize the other components. Even Chinese DJI uses camera from a European company (which they later bought).

Which engine?

Some readily available engine from the West most likely.

We already have a joint venture between HAL and IAI in Israel to design, develop and manufacture a large number of unmanned helicopter drones for various purposes.

Developing another type with similar capabilities is a waste of money and time that could be spent on another critical project.
