New Delhi: Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) has designed a special drone called Combat Air Teaming System (CATS) Warrior. According to sources, this unmanned combat aircraft (UCAV) is ready for its first low-speed taxi trial soon. CATS Warrior has been designed in such a way that it can attack the enemy in conjunction with fighter jets. This drone will be able to gather information about the enemy, keep surveillance and carry out strike missions on its own. When was this UCAV displayed? This drone was first shown at Aero India 2025 this year. It is expected that it will also take its first flight by the end of 2025. NewSpace Research and Technologies is also working with HAL in this project. Big countries of the world like America, China and Russia are also making similar drones. Now India is also moving rapidly towards making its Air Force more powerful with this technology. What are the features of CATS Warrior? The CATS Warrior UCAV is an unmanned fighter drone which can complete the mission remotely or on its own. It can support a piloted aircraft by dodging the enemy's radar or attacking in advance. It is fitted with Swarm technology in which many such drones can fly together in a swarm, and mislead the enemy's system. It can do both espionage (ISR), surveillance and precision bombing. It has a stealth design hence it's very difficult to detect it by enemy's radar. According to initial information, its operation range is up to 700 kilometers, which can be increased further. High precision It can be launched from an airbase, and it can go deep into the enemy's territory and complete the mission. Its range will depend on which missile or bomb it will be equipped with. CATS Warrior is capable of carrying 100 (44 kg) to 150 pounds (68 kg) of bombs or electronic warfare (EW) pods. This means that apart from jamming enemy's radar system, it can also bomb with precision. What weapons can it carry? This drone will have an internal weapon bay, in which weapons like Smart Anti-Airfield Weapon (SAAW) and Next Generation Close Combat Missile (NGCCM) will be fitted. It will attack the enemy with hidden weapons while avoiding radar in the air. It will be fitted with light weight smart bombs and stand-off missiles capable of hitting the target even from a distance of 100-200 kilometers. Staying away from the fighter jet, this drone can destroy the enemy's target without going close. India's 'flying companion' CATS Warrior UCAV will be operated by connecting it with modern fighter aircraft like India's Tejas LCA and Sukhoi Su-30 MKI. This technology will provide the ability to carry out precise and deep attacks on enemy targets without endangering the life of the pilot. It is being called India's 'flying companion'.
