India takes leap towards desi stealth drone

India conducted a flight trial of an autonomous flying wing technology demonstrator, a step towards building a stealth UCAV and remotely-piloted strike aircraft. The successful flight demonstration showcases India’s maturity in technology readiness levels. The high-speed flying-wing UAV, developed by DRDO’s ADE, will lead to the development of the RPSA. The ADE has been focusing on developing stealthy drones and aircraft with reduced radar cross-section.
