ब्रेकिंग - Cats warrior का भी बाप - Super warrior drone for Indian Air force

Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) is charging ahead with its Combat Air Teaming System (CATS) Warrior unmanned combat aerial vehicle (UCAV) program, targeting a first flight for the 2-ton baseline prototype by the end of 2026, while laying the groundwork for a heftier 5-ton sequel dubbed CATS Warrior II. Exclusive insights from idrw.org sources reveal that flight control systems, rigorously vetted on the Kiran Optional Manned-Unmanned Combat Aircraft (OMCA) testbed, will transition seamlessly to both variants, heralding a new era of loyal wingman drones that amplify manned fighters in contested skies.
The CATS Warrior initiative, a flagship under the HAL swarm drone doctrine, envisions affordable, Al-driven unmanned escorts for IAF assets like the Rafale and Tejas. The initial 2-ton airframe, developed in tandem with HAL's Bengaluru division and private partners like Tata Elxsi, emphasizes modularity: a blended-wing body for low radar cross-section, internal bays for precision munitions, and sensor fusion for collaborative ops.
"We're not just building drones; we're engineering intelligent teammates that extend the reach and endurance of our pilots," HAL Chairman D.K. Sunil remarked in a recent address, underscoring the program's alignment with 'Atmanirbhar Bharat.
