UAVs, Drones, Remote Surveillance Tech
Re: UAVs, Drones, Remote Surveillance Tech
^ That exposes the limitations of the kill chains, autonomy, discrimination and targeting. It is far simpler to set up a LM for a SEAD attack where you have someone in the loop and a designated area and target type that you are going after. Add infantry, softer targets, urban, and a myriad of different supply vehicles, commercial vehicles, launchers, assembly points and you are basically using a manned platform (not an unmanned platform) where the "man" is located off-site which turns the fight into basically a race to keep your networks up / deny your opponent the spectrum to use its networks. This is limiting from a kill chain, networking, and other support perspective. The sheer number of targets or potential targets of interest will just overwhelm you unless you have a manned ISR asset in the loop that is able to pass on targeting information in real time. This is a problem even with more sophisticated UCAV concepts like the BAE Taranis, Neuron, or US j-UCAS. The air-vehicles look great, but the real issues in employing them for anything besides a niche mission set has to do with EMCON, secure LPI/LPD high bandwidth networks, autonomy, target discrimination and completing kill chains. When you expand the potential target set (by bringing them closer to say a strike-fighter or a bomber like target set) you have to solve for these challenges and no one has really done so at the moment. They are a great option when you have pin point target coordinates, and just need a truck to launch weapons or when you have a fairly narrow target set (like SEAD) and have other ISR assets to suppor them. Or when you have a limited number of targets (like COIN) and a man always in the loop to make decisions. But when you don't know what and where you targets are, UAV's become a fairly poor option. Same thing with Cruise Missile based stand-off attack - Very little utility if the enemy is relatively mobile, uses loads of decoy tactics, and is capable of degrading your weapon efficacy using a combination of EW, cyber, Air Defenses and mobility. This may change with the next gen. autonomous systems but we are probably at least a generation away from seeing that.
Re: UAVs, Drones, Remote Surveillance Tech
Wouldn't the same FOV issues apply to the Litening pods and other targeting equipment aboard Israeli fighter jets as well? I am wondering if the decision not to use drones (at least publicly) is more because of the optics of doing drone strikes in densely populated civilian areas. Yes air strikes will give similar results mostly, but in the minds of people around the world, using drones has a different impact.hnair wrote: All these are very expensive solutions against cheap unguided rockets. It would have been cheaper for them to launch loitering munitions over Gaza and let them take out the launchers accurately. But it couldn’t, probably due to FOV issues when flying among buildings etc. similar issues exist in forests or hills too
Re: UAVs, Drones, Remote Surveillance Tech
nachiket, I was talking about loitering UAV/munitions of a cheap nature that was considered a game changer. The manned fighters have cueing done from multiple sources even before they take off, since their targets are more conventional and immobile (buildings).
brar_w has expanded on the need for a human in the kill chain, probably because the automatic discerning in a cluttered environment is still not fool proof. So you are right on the risk of bad optics. Already the 200 odd collateral damage is proving to be the core of anti-Israel narrative among influential segments even in US

Re: UAVs, Drones, Remote Surveillance Tech
What is the Cost-benefit here wrt using loitering munitions vs aircraft delivered pg bombs? Given that the Israeli AF doesn't have to contend with air defense?
Re: UAVs, Drones, Remote Surveillance Tech
Yes that is another thing to consider. The advantage of drones in not putting a human pilot at risk is useless in the Israeli case since Hamas doesn't even seem to have MANPADS to defend with unlike any self respecting jihadi in other parts of the world. Not that it would matter much since the variety of PGM's available to the Israelis would enable them to strike from outside the range of any MANPADs anyway.

Billed as the country’s most advanced indigenous fighter jet, Qaher-313 is so small that there literally isn’t enough space under its wings for the bombs and missiles that the country claimed it could carry; it doesn’t even have a weapons bay. The cockpit is so small that it can’t accommodate a normal pilot in the ejection seat.

Re: UAVs, Drones, Remote Surveillance Tech
The question is "Do we even a vision or a roadmap for inducting and deploying indigenous UAVs/UCAVs in which highest levels of military are invested?". Because the indigenous UAV journey will start from there. Technology wise it is less of a challenge especially when compared to something like Jet engine development or mastering of Hypersonic technologies.hemant_sai wrote:https://www.janes.com/defence-news/news ... s-gaza-uav

It is the SWARM technology that will be the gamechanger. To my knowledge no military or paramilitary has till date deployed or used a Swarm in a combat zone. Although some countries are in advanced phase of development.
Re: UAVs, Drones, Remote Surveillance Tech
It is not about the cost benefit ratio here. The current crop of israeli loitering munitions are specialized for certain tasks like SEAD and taking out vehicles. Against hamas in Gaza Strip, the targets consisted of underground bunkers, tunnels and multistoreyed buildings among other things in a highly dense urban environment. Now to take out such targets there are certain factors involved when it comes to munition type. For eg. Shape of the warhead, metallurgy, type of explosive used and the explosive power or bang produced by the warhead. Now I am pretty sure even a Small Diameter Bomb(SDB) category munition will have more bang and better penetration quality than the loitering munitions currently in service with IDF. Also there are hardly any SEAD targets/Radar stations in gaza strip where Harop type loitering munition would have made a difference. As far as Hamas vehicles and rocket launching pads are concerned, probably since Israeli Air Force fighters were already spending so much time on station, that they received most of the share of targets. Another point is that quantity of air launched PGMs in israeli service must be vastly more than the number of loitering munitions they have. Plus American refills would be a bonus for them.So why waste such precious assets on a mission which can be performed by a cheaper and more numerous munition.Prasad wrote:What is the Cost-benefit here wrt using loitering munitions vs aircraft delivered pg bombs? Given that the Israeli AF doesn't have to contend with air defense?
The point is that existing loitering munitions like Harop are meant for a different kind of war. For eg if Israel was fighting against Syria or Egypt(not very likely), it would play a very important role. Here in Gaza there was simply not much use for them.
Re: UAVs, Drones, Remote Surveillance Tech
^^ one additional point I would like to add here. The skills shown by Israeli Air Force pilots were amazing especially the controlled demolition of multistoreyed buildings by targeting their foundations. Simply on another level. I doubt if many Airforces could carry out such missions. It is like they were practicing such missions for a long time now. So it is only fitting that were brought to do the honors.

Hope Navy and Army also follow suit.
This would also mark the beginning of laser being employed as air defence & kill weapon. Kudos to DRDO for that.
Hope the technology is transferred to both PSU and private companies so that companies can build on the expertise and the system
follows a evolutionary path.
Next step should be to make it vehicle portable something like Raytheon's high energy laser (HEL) on Polaris vehicle.
Mobility will also be useful in CI operations also where terrorists can be smoked out literally and figuratively.
A start has been made to cover up the gaps. Ideally should have been done a year back but never too late.The Indian Air Force (IAF) issued a request for information (RFI) to seek responses from Indian companies for the counter-drone systems called CUAS, a day after the Jammu attack, which revealed operational deficiencies in dealing with small commercially-accessible drones packed with explosives.
“The CUAS is intended to detect, track, identify, designate and neutralize hostile UAS. Laser-Directed Energy Weapons (Laser-DEWs) are essentially required as a kill option,” said the RFI.

What We Know About The Indian Armed Forces' Ability To Deploy And Defend Against Drones
When it comes to defence against drones, India appears prepared. The Defence Research and Development Organisation has indigenously developed a portable anti-drone system that offers a combo of detection and destruction.
It involves jamming an incoming drone’s communication systems , when it is still around 3 kms — then destroying it with a laser beam if it penetrates to 1.5 km.
These portable units were deployed in Delhi at Red Fort on Independence Day 2020 and earlier, in February 2020, along the route during US President Donald Trump’s India visit.
To cover a wider swathe, what are known as drone defence domes can be created. These combine integrated meshed networks, multiple honeycombed cells and artificial intelligence.
Such domes can cover 1,000 sq km or more. A Hyderabad-based company, Grene Robotics has developed what it claims is India’s first-wide area autonomous Drone Defence Dome — “Indrajaal” — which works against UAVS as well as other incoming munitions.

Re: UAVs, Drones, Remote Surveillance Tech
Its time, we should embrace the drones as a mode of transport whole heartedly and encourage private players to invest in the research there. We should start registering and licensing each individual drones(just like two wheelers and four wheelers) and start making guidelines, rules and regulations to stream line the same.
1) This will allow our country setting the rules of the game(other countries may start following that rules)
2) Gives the local players the economics of scale which can be utilized and refined for various other purposes.
3) Even if we are not doing it, other countries will be doing the same(may already be doing, I don't know. Pardon me if so).
In due time, we will have to practice and exercise both the use and denial (of drones) in a large scale.
