KASAMA UAV THAILAND MILITARY ROYAL NAVY PROJECT - Gavin Broadbent

[daveth26]

Our dear friend Gavin Broadbent is prototype testing the Gasoline Turbine Edition of UAV platform with Royal Military Thailand Navy & Institutional Departments at moment. We shall await his arrival to Singapore to join us for more fun flys!



"The Thai Navy and DTI together with two Thai Companies develop a vertical takeoff UAV

On the 21st of July 2011, the Naval defense institute of technology and Kasama helicopters Ltd signeda joint research project for the development of a vertical takeoff unmanned aerial vehicle or UAV. Over 20 million Thai baht in funding will be allocated for research / development and production of unmanned aerial vehicles for use by the Thai Navy.

The Navy has partnered with two private companies one being Kasama helicopters for research and prototyping. The unmanned aircraft will be designed according to the operational needs of the Thai Navy.

The proposed design for the UAV platform will be different from what has been seen before. It will be approximately two years before the first UAV platforms will enter production and be used operationally. "

2nd Flight of DTI-RTN Gasoline Turbine UAV.

Camera mounted seems having vibrations. Could have installed gyroscopic servo mount for AV shots.

Very nice sound! I'm tempted by the turbine.



PS: I wonder why none has made it so silent for UAV that noone knew it is up there? UAV are so obvious everyone knew it's up there....Could have developed electro-static anti-gravity kinds like UFOs. Then again, it may not be practical enough for the existing public technology to implement while not including the classified concealed projects.

Bro i think they already have those.. they even have unmanned bombers...

they use something like gliders i think actually.. cause of the fuel efficiency, the low sound level, and it just looks like a bird on the radar or something like that..

Yup, propell up there, stop & glide, I agree. That'll be silent for that instant. I've seen those predator RC models & our guys did ever flown before on small scale of reasonable wingspan. Frankly it is super retarded on the aileron, turn only effect after mins. He missed the turn allowance & ended up crashing flat-on into a HDB building with handphone camera activated on it.

Artillery is already pinpoint on test sites using satellites guided tests overseas by press button to evolve fly-by-wire missiles. No need deploy troops anymore. However, their accuracy has yet to achieve real designation which is their existing issues due to air fluctuations in the atmosphere...
