DRDO/IAI Pawan

The Pawan is a joint Indian and Israeli unmanned aerial vehicle project begun in 2006 by India's ADE, a division of DRDO, and Israel Aircraft Industries, for the Indian armed forces. It was planned as a vehicle-mounted short-range drone of about 120 kilograms, comparable in size and capability to the Elbit Hermes 180, with day and night surveillance, an endurance of five hours and a range of 150 kilometres. Four prototypes were to be built, with Israeli electro-optical sensors in the payload, and the two countries were to share the development cost of 33.2 million US dollars equally and manufacture it in both. As of 2022 the project appears to have been shelved.
