The Black Hornet Nano : Smallest drone of Indian Armed forces

The drone warfare is becoming interesting day by day due to the different types of mission that they can undertake from intelligence gathering, reconnaissance, loitering munition, swarm drones, UCAVs & loyal wingman. The list goes on. However, there was one drone which has recently caught our attention as it’s the smallest of all the drones in service with Indian Armed forces. Black Hornet, the world’s smallest spy cam drone is all of 4 inches in length, but size does not matter when it comes to being lethal. What seems to be a toy, is one of the deadliest assets of our NSG commandoes. The Black hornet nano was first spotted back in 2018 during the rising day of NSG commandos & now are being used to augment the NSG squad and small unit-level surveillance and reconnaissance capabilities. The Black Hornet Nano is a military micro-UAV developed by Prox Dynamics of Norway, and in use by the armed forces of the United States, France, the United Kingdom, Germany, Australia, Turkey, Norway, the Netherlands and India. Prox Dynamics have been acquired by FLIR. With the length of just 4inches and weigh 18g, The Micro UAV provides troops on the ground with local situational awareness. They are small enough to fit in one hand. Its very easy to use & the operator of this micro-UAV can be trained to operating it in just 20 minutes. The air vehicle has three cameras; one looking forward, one looking straight down, and one pointing downward at 45 degrees. A Black Hornet package contains two helicopters, and since a 90% charge is reached in 20-25 minutes, the same as its hovering time, when one needs to be recharged the other is ready to fly. Its top speed is close to 21 km/h. It also comes with night vision capabilities, fitted with both long-wave infrared and day video sensors that can transmit video streams or high-resolution still images via a digital data-link within 1.6 KM range. Extremely light, nearly silent, and with a flight time up to 20-25 minutes, the combat-proven, pocket-sized Black Hornet transmits live video and HD still images back to the operator using the Global Positioning System (GPS) through digital data-link. The images are displayed on a small handheld terminal which is also used by the operator to control the UAV. Its information feed provides soldiers with immediate covert situational awareness to help them perform missions more effectively. Unmanned systems like our Black Hornet provide enhanced standoff and safety to troops, which is critical as militaries intensify their plans for multi-domain operations.

The NSGs are very quick in evolving to modern world technology at passage of time. They are the first ones to catch up then Marcos and Garuds .

They say necessity is the mother of innovation !
So, while I understand that countries in Europe and North America are developed countries, its mind boggling to see the likes of Norway and Sweden who havent faced a single war or major conflict in last 7 decades produced such quality and technologically advanced defense systems and gadgets.
Our priority after 4 wars is anything but defense related !

Topic is really very interesting super bhai what a topic I have also read this type of topics in defence

Plz do video on indian armed drones in stock

[dilipbaokar]

DRDO should have a special branch working on such Nano drones like black hornet forspecial forces operations. they should be in the form of butterfly, fly, lizard, cockroach or some commonly available domestic battery charged insects/ animals weighing not more than 10-12gms. fitted with night/day IR cameras meant for surveillance. once upon a time such toys were but a fantacy which are now become a necessity.

"It is not a toy" - Damn! I would love to have one of those to play with.

[digendrajitthongam]

Fabrication n chipset modelling first.

[arpande]

What about we don't make our High-speed drones as armed weapon
Fit them with grenades

[abymathew]

Black hornet is daaaamn expensive for what it is..around 50k USD...🙆🙆🙆

[ravishankar-rvyh]

MADE IN BARATHA MORE HI TECHNOLOGY DRONES NEEDED MANUFACTURER IN INDIA NEEDED MORE JAY HIND JAY BARATH

[sudeshgaur]

I can understand DRDO struggling to make combat and surveillance drones like Heron and predator, but what about these small black hornets ? Does it also require too much R&D funding !??

[SkyGlitchGalaxy]

These bloody things cost 100K for a pair.

[siddeshnaik]

barrel launched small suicide drones can help in terror operations when terrorists take cover and engage in battle

**Why Rastriya rifles not useing Black Hornet Drones---or any other small drones in Kashmir ?
