Description

The Panchi is a wheeled version of the Nishant tactical unmanned air vehicle (TUAV) developed and operated by the Indian Army leveraging its day/night intelligence, surveillance, target acquisition and reconnaissance (ISTAR) capabilities. The Panchi is able to take-off and landing using small airstrips with its wheeled landing gear. It features longer range after removing the air bags and parachute system. The electro-optic payloads are mounted on a stabilized steerable platform. A sophisticated image processing system is used for analyzing the images transmitted from the UAV. The aircraft has a jam resistant command link and digital down link for transmission of imagery. The air vehicle has autonomous flight capabilities and is controlled from a user friendly Ground Control Station. The Panchi maiden flight was carried out on December 24, 2014.
