ISR, Strike & Loitering UAS Platforms

The core airframe segment: man-portable and tactical ISR platforms, MALE systems (MQ-9 Reaper, Hermes 900, EDGE REACH-S), remotely piloted aircraft for surveillance and reconnaissance, and the fast-growing loitering-munition / one-way-attack class (Shadow Striker, QX-series, Shahed-derived counters). Aerial-target drones used for live-fire training (BANSHEE) sit here too, since they share the airframe-and-launch profile. Each platform is sold as a system — airframe, launch/recovery, and a ground control station — with payloads, datalinks and counter-UAS treated as separate procurement lines. Defence ministries lead, but sovereign programmes under EDGE (ADASI), SAMI and Intra Defense are now building and exporting indigenous platforms.
