Re: DRDO Lakshya PTA

Pilotless Target Aircraft (PTA) (named as Lakshya) is an Indian remotely piloted high speed target drone system developed by the Aeronautical Development Establishment (ADE) of Defence Research and Development Organization (DRDO).

A variant Lakshya-1 is used to perform discreet aerial reconnaissance of battlefield and target acquisition. The drone remotely piloted by a ground control station provides realistic towed aerial sub-targets for live fire training.

The drone is ground or ship launched from a zero length launcher and recovery is by a two-stage parachute system developed by ADE (DRDO), for land- or sea based recovery.

The drone has a crushable nose cone, which absorbs the impact of landing, minimizing damage. The flight path may be controlled or pre-programmed, based upon the type of mission

It is a reusable aerial target system. Lakshya is remotely operated from ground to provide aerial target for training of gun and Missile crew and Air Defence pilots for all the three Services.

Delivery of five Lakshya systems with 26 operational flights for Air Force has been accomplished in 2001-2002. The first batch of Lakshya was delivered to the Navy.

Three aircraft with Ground Control and Support System have been handed over and four operational flights have been conducted. Phase-I delivery for Army is planned shortly.
