Baaz UAV: India’s Revolutionary Drone Ready for Bulk Production

The indigenously developed Unmanned Aerial System, Baaz UAV is now ready for bulk production. Indian Army has completed Transfer of Technology (ToT), with private industries to bulk produce Baaz drone.

Baaz Unmanned Aerial System was developed by Col Vikas Chaturvedi. It showcases how operational experience can translate into indigenous disruptive technology. This happens for the battlefield when partnered with agile Indian firms.

“Baaz” attack drone is an indigenous Indian multi-purpose, multi-weapon drone. It has proven itself as potentially the first drone capable of firing a rocket launcher. Baaz is used for anti-tank roles, destroying enemy assets, and precise strikes. It operates autonomously with camera guidance for high accuracy and safe return. This drone can carry and deploy multiple types of weapons including rockets.

The capability of Baaz of carrying rockets is a significant innovation. It allows Baaz to fire rockets from the air for precision strikes. It can be employed for multitude of tasks including combat support, Anti-tank role, scouting, surveillance and logistics replenishment.

Baaz can fully enable autonomous operations from take-off to landing, with pre-programmed waypoints and manual override. The Baaz can engage and neutralise the enemy targets with high accuracy. It features an integrated camera linked to the weapon’s sight for precise targeting, ensuring hits and a safe return. With the transfer of technology to the Indian private sector soon a completely Swadeshi (made in India) drone, developed for the Indian Army will be ready for induction.
