Follow on Google News | Biggest UAV Show in India in September 2016The biggest UAV event in India - the fifth edition of UAV India 2016 Civil & Military Seminar & Exhibition, is being organised on 26-28 Sep 2016, at the Manekshaw Centre, New Delhi.
By: IMR Media Pvt Ltd This is the oldest and longest running event on UAVs in India. This year, the organisers have added a third day for live demonstration of quadcopters and mini UAVs, a start-up zone and a Posters Display. The seminar will focus on the development, military and civil employment and potential of UAVs in India, including unmanned combat air vehicles, micro and mini UAVs, payloads (sensors, survey & surveillance equipment, EW, weapons), ground stations (data links, launch and recovery systems), aerial targets and maritime unmanned systems. Military Uses The Indian armed forces are convinced that UAV technology is very useful and successful in different types of operations. In addition, maritime operations, as well as surveillance and reconnaissance operations in India are boosting the demand for medium altitude long endurance UAVs and tactical UAVs The infantry has decided to scale three mini UAVs to every infantry battalion. Within the next three years the Indian defence ministry will stage five additional tenders for the purchase of a combined 600 mini UAS systems to be operated by the air force, infantry and artillery units and the federal police. These deals will be worth a total of $1.25 billion, with all production to be performed in India. Civil Uses The rapid development of UAVs promises to change the way a host of services will be delivered in the security, transport, gas, oil, mining, agriculture, survey & mapping, disaster management and specially the infrastructure sector. With versatile payloads like high-resolution cameras, sophisticated sensors and array of functions, with increased endurance, the boundaries of employment of UAVs will only expand through innovation and ingenuity. For example, in the gas and oil sector, they can assist in leak detection, inspection, monitoring, collection of data and so on. Three-axis stabilized, high-resolution still and video cameras, over 10x optical zoom. Thermal FLIR, near-IR, CO2 sensors, methane sensors, hydrocarbon sensors and air quality samplers payloads now help in generating GIS-tagged images, terrain analysis, video analytics, remote sensing, topography, thermography and so on. Technology has reached a point where UAVs provide clear economic benefits for a wide range of applications over traditional alternatives. In addition UAVs will replace resources involved in "dull, dirty and dangerous" work. The Defence Infrastructure Planning & Management Council (India) has also come forward to partner with us for this event. The first day - 26 Sep 2016 - will have the Military Agenda for which the Defence Minister and other high ranking officers have been invited to attend. The second day - 27 Sep 2016 - will have the Civil Agenda, for which the Minister of Civil Aviation, has been invited. Registerations can be done online at http://imrmedia.in/ End
