| Video Discription | HAL’s CATS Program CATS Development The Indian air force and navy have also backed the effort for designated Combat Air Teaming System (CATS). At present LCA Tejas lacks a Datalink which is an essential capability that helps to share essential battlefield information about targets and threats. It helps in sorting targets as a group of fighters and avoiding threats that are not visible to your aircraft but other aircraft on the same data link can see. Data linking helps in integrated operations. Since Tejas lacks an operational datalink, HAL is looking to integrate an indigenous datalink that is being tested on the Hawk-I which is a locally modified version of the BAE Systems Hawk 132. “CATS Warrior”: The Loyal Wingman Drone The CATS Warrior is going to be a low-observable, unmanned wingman, which is controlled from CATS MAX. It will have 2 variants. The Smaller will be approx 4M long which will for Indian Navy and Larger one is going to be 9M long for Indian Air Force. It would be controlled by the mothership and accomplish tasks such as scouting, absorbing enemy fire, attacking the targets if necessary, with its internal & external pylons weapons or sacrifice itself by crashing into the target. CATS Warrior Design CATS Warrior will follow a semi stealthy design and will have very low RCS because of which it will be difficult for enemy defense system to detect it. Its exhaust will feature chevron nozzle design like Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II to reduce the Jet blast noises & radar emissions. It has a low observable body with twin canted tails. The early variant of UAV will be powered by 2 PTA7E engines fed by an S-duct from the top of the fuselage. This engine is capable of generating thrust of around 4 KN only. The later version will be powered by HTFE-25, a 25 kN turbofan under development by HAL which will give enough power to the UCAV to match up the flight performance with modern day fighters. CATS Warrior Performance It will fly back for mission within the combat radius of 350 km and for long range mission with combat radius of 800 km it will sacrifice itself crashing into the target. It can cruise at a speed of Mach 0.7 to 0.8 with an endurance of 80mins. As per HAL test pilot Retd Group Captain H.V. Thakur, "Warrior will serve as a 'sensor amplifier' for the LCA, flying out ahead of the manned aircraft and using its sensors to feed information back to LCA" Sensors & Weapons CATS warrior will be equipped with an electro-optic/infrared payload, Active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar, inertial navigational unit, and a jammer for intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance and combat operations. The maximum take-off weight of UCAV is going to be 2,100 KG and will have 4 hard points: 2 in its internal weapon bay and two externally with a total capacity of 600KG. It can carry combinations of missiles which includes SAAW(Smart Anti-Airfield Weapons) for ground attack, New Generation Close Combat Missile(NGCCM) for air-to-air engagement and in self-protection role, MBDA’s ASRAAM & AlFA-S Loitering Munition. Development Timeline The cost of each unmanned wingman is projected to be just $5 million. As per the latest report the CATS Warrior has started its maiden wind tunnel testing and is progressing well on schedule. As per Director of HAL Engineering, Research & Development division Arup Chatterjee, the integration with CATS MAX mothership will take 1-2 years and first flights is scheduled for 2024-25. ==========WHOMSOEVER IT MAY CONCERN============= Most of the pictures clip or BGM included in the Video Belongs to their Respected Owners and we do not claim rights.
