KARACHI: After years of research and development, Integrated Defence System (IDS) has developed an Unmanned Ariel Vehicle (UAV) capable to rival any international target drone in terms of speed and performance.
HADDAF-1 is the latest addition to the existing fleet of target drones and reconnaissance/ surveillance UAVs in production at IDS through entirely indigenous efforts.
HADDAF-1 after completion of successful trials and tests would be inducted in the country's Armed Forces.
Global Positioning System and the capability to cater for target practice of both missiles and rounds, make HADDAF-1 an ideal and economic choice for any military force seeking to train its personnel in air defence.
Another noteworthy UAV of IDS is the Nishan Mk-II. It is a high speed Aerial Target with speed in excess of 370 km/hour.
Army inducts electronically fused mine detonation System
Meanwhile, Pakistan Army have recently inducted a system enabling troops to activate electrically fused mine detonations remotely via a radio link for initiation of demolition, in tactical and operational environments.
It can even be used for inoculation of radio controlled mine fields giving control on mine deployment. The system is particularly useful for intelligent mines.
Live Demonstration
A live demonstration of the gadgetry, made by a local manufacturer was prominent at the Firing Display held at Sonmiani (Balochistan) Friday, marking the culmination of five-day international defence exhibition IDEAS-2004, organised at Expo Center Karachi.
The system is designed for maximum reliability and safety. It has an extended operating range of upto 10km (LOS).
High security is achieved by a two part firing key, only one known to the operator.
Sophisticated Defence Equipment
A large number of local and foreign visitors witnessed sophisticated defence equipments at the stall of Air Weapons Complex (AWC) at the IDEAS-2004.
The Foreign delegates in particular took great interest in the indigenous production of Hi-Tech defence equipments by AWC including Air Defence Automation system, Radar and sensors.
Indigenous Expertise
They were delighted to know that these systems have been developed and produced with indigenous expertise and resources.
They acknowledged that these systems conform to the international standards. These Systems speak of the untiring efforts of Pakistani scientists and engineers.
Exports to Bangladesh
The AWC has also started exports to Bangladesh while negotiations are underway with other foreign buyers.
Other important electronic systems produced locally by the AWC include unmanned Aerial vehicles, Radar Warning Receiver, Bullet-Proof Jackets and helmets, general purpose and fibre glass pre-fragmented Bombs and Fuses.
Besides catering to the requirements of the three services at home, the AWC is also earning much needed foreign exchange for the country.●
