About:


• Nagastra is a fixed-wing electric unmanned aerial vehicle with an endurance of 60 minutes.
• Unlike other weapons, Solar’s Nagastra has the capability to abort an attack if necessary and can be safely retrieved.
• It is named a loitering munition weapon due to its ability to hover over the target.
• It can carry a 1-kilo warhead and carry out a precision strike via GPS with an accuracy of within two metres.
• It offers a 15 km range with man-in-loop control and extends up to 30 km in autonomous mode.
• Due to its electric propulsion system, Nagastra-1 provides a low acoustic signature, making it almost undetectable at altitudes over 200 metres.
• It has a ‘Kamikaze mode’ in which it can search and destroy any target by crashing into it.
• It is equipped with day and night surveillance cameras.
• It has been designed to hit enemy training camps, launch pads, and infiltrators and thus reduce risk to soldiers.
