The Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) has successfully conducted the engine ground run of a full-scale demonstrator, Combat Air Teaming System (CATS) – Warrior.
CATS-Warrior is a stealth UCAV designed to accompany manned fighter jets on missions as a loyal wingman platform.
It can carry the Smart Anti-Airfield Weapons (SAAWs) and Next-Generation Close Combat Missiles (NG CCMs).
CATS-Hunter is an air-launched low-observable cruise missile capable of the precision strikes deep inside enemy territory.
CATS-Infinity Pseudo Satellite is an ultra-high-altitude, solar-powered pseudo satellite designed to operate at an altitude of approximately 70,000 feet.
With an endurance of 90 days, it bridges the surveillance gap between satellites and UAVs.
