Shikra Dvij
Low cost, remotely piloted target designed for air defence simulations on land and sea. Fitted with latest mini avionics suite that gives the target a radius of operation from the ground control station of more 40km of autonomous flight. It can also be used as an effective training unmanned systems for understanding basic functionalities and control.
Shikra Prop
Aerial targets were developed to represent threats posed by UAVs, enemy aircraft and general aerial threat weapons. Powered by propellers, these variants of which have been used to test the effectiveness and operational readiness of weapon systems. For improved cost effectiveness, the propeller driven Shikra is able to tow a range of towed targets.
Shikra Unojet
Originally supplied to the Indian defence forces, the latest, Make-in-India derivative is powered by a more powerful rear mounted jet engine which provides 45Kg of static thrust giving it an improved performance with a top speed in excess of 135m/s by the rear mounted jet engine producing 40kg static thrust.
Shikra Twinjet
This target unmanned systems which is powered by 2 off 45Kg thrust engines, offers customers higher speeds up to 200m/s with endurance of 55 minutes. Suitable to be used against SAM and AAM missiles both across land and sea, the performance of the unmanned systems is easily varied by plug-in modules.
Shikra GenX
Powered by twin gas turbine engines, the target provides straight and level air speeds in excess of 250m/s. A large fuel capacity of 100 litres gives a comfortable endurance of over an hour dependant on mission parameters.
Accessories
All of the Shikra target derivatives detailed above may be configured with a variety of specialist payloads and accessories to suit and fully test the weapon being exercised. These payloads, many of which may be fitted simultaneously include: Smoke tracking and Infrared flares, Hot nose – black-body IR source, IR and chaff decoy dispensing pods, IFF transponder capable of modes A and C, Luneburg Lenses, active radar augmenters, Radar altimeter, sea-skimming augmenters, Acoustic and Doppler Radar MDI (360° IR signature), Active Radar Homing Emulator (AHRE).
Ground Support Equipment
We have a dedicated in-house fabrication centre to produce ground launchers and ground support equipment to facilitate launch of the aerial vehicles.
