Bolt
Bullet shaped VTOL ISR drone with a rocket boost
- Total weight
- 6.05 kg
- Class
- DGCA Medium
Bolt is shaped like a bullet. It takes off and lands on four rotors, cruises on an electric pusher prop, and fires a solid rocket motor when it needs a 56 m/s dash. A nose mounted camera, thermal and laser rangefinder gimbal works with a 40 TOPS AI accelerator to detect and track objects on its own, and dual GPS with NavIC keeps its navigation resistant to jamming. Bolt is restricted to defence and paramilitary operators.
