Overview
10-inch day & night ISR quadcopter
The 10" Day & Night Surveillance Drone with dual-sensor camera is a high-performance, India-made tactical solution tailored for long-range surveillance and precision intercept operations.
Designed for agility and resilience in demanding and contested environments, it pairs advanced failsafe protocols with rapid hand-launch capability and robust heavy-lift performance, supporting immediate mission readiness and real-time situational awareness.
Its three-axis gimbal carries a 5 MP visible-light camera and a 384 × 288 uncooled thermal imager, so the same airframe keeps watching after dark.
