Flying Wedge Displays Prototype For Autonomous Combat Programme Arabian Post


Date:

(MENAFN- The Arabian Post) clearfix"> Bengaluru-based Flying Wedge Defence & Aerospace has unveiled a full-scale static prototype of its FWD Supreme autonomous combat aircraft in New Delhi, while preparing a lighter demonstrator for its maiden flight.

The company presented the programme on Tuesday as a proposed family of artificial intelligence-piloted aircraft intended for surveillance, strike and coordinated combat missions. Its smaller FWD Supreme Lite has completed taxi trials, founder Suhas Tejaskanda said, but no first-flight date has been confirmed.

The unveiling marks a further stage in the company's effort to move from aircraft designs to flight-tested hardware. A static prototype demonstrates the proposed configuration rather than operational performance, and the aircraft's advertised speed, range and combat capabilities remain development targets.
