Delhi-NCR headquartered Drone tech startup TSAW Drones
launched its Made-In-India drone – Hybrid Fixed Wing VTOL (Adarna V2) at Aero
India 2023. The 14th
edition of Aero India takes place between the 13th to the 17th
of February at the Air Force Station in Yelahanka, Bengaluru. The biennial Airshow
was inaugurated by Prime Minister Modi Ji and attended by Defence Minister
Rajnath Singh along with several Defence ministers from different countries.
The available Drones have many applications, but they are
limited by their short travel times and confined lifting capacities. Adarna V2
is designed intelligently to address these shortcomings, with its ability to
fly for 100 minutes and cover a distance of 120 kilometres in a single flight. Adarna
V2 has the proficiency to fly up to a ceiling height of 3500m and carry a heavy
weight of up to 8kg. Additionally, the drone has wind resistance grade 5
(8.5-10.5m/s), allowing it to fly even in high-wind conditions and fulfil the
requirements of e-commerce platforms, armed forces, medical suppliers, farmers,
and others.
On the launch of the new Drone Kishan Tiwari, Founder
& CEO, TSAW Drones affirmed, “After working diligently to design
and build its technology from the scratch and securing the pertinent regulatory
approvals, we are thrilled to unveil Hybrid Fixed Wing VTOL (Adarna V2) at Aero
India 2023. We intend to demonstrate its uncanny prowess to traverse complex
terrains in order to carry cargo and operations to locations where conventional
commuting would take hours or even days. Adarna V2 is engineered to fulfil a
slew of underlying challenges in
a wide range of industries, including streamlining access to healthcare in
remote rural areas, faster hyperlocal & e-commerce distribution, optimizing
& monitoring crop growth, and, most importantly, delivering reconnaissance &
surveillance solutions for security apparatus. With TSAW and our just-launched
logistics arm DRONECO, we aspire to take the flight of drone innovation,
technology & manufacturing to a horizon which can en route us on the map of
becoming world’s top drone company and making India a global drone hub.”
TSAW follows level 5 automation for their drone operations. This
overcomes human discrepancies in Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS)
operations. Furthermore, the health of the drone is transmitted in real-time
with the drone operator via
TSAW’s in-house developed Un-piloted Aerial Vehicle Traffic Management system
(UTM). The drone can be switched from autopilot to manual mode in an
emergency. This adds an extra layer of safety to the operations TSAW
undertakes.
