Many of you will be thinking that the AURA (autonomous unmanned research aircraft) is will be an unmanned stealth attack drone and will be used for precision strikes. Many of you are also waiting for any announcements related to this project. But ......there is a sad as well as a good news attached to this.
The BAD NEWS is that there AURA project was not a fancy drone or stealth UAV project. It was just a feasibility and a conceptual study of whether India could actually develop its own combat UAV in the near future. This project started in 2009 and was allotted Rs.12 crores and ended in 2013.
The GOOD NEWS is that recently the government has cleared Rs.2650 crores for the development of a stealth drones or UAV and naming the project as "Project GHATAK".The project is being evaluated by the Ministry of Finance and is waiting for the green signal from the cabinet committee on security.
