The Next Generation of Indigenous Fixed-Wing VTOL
The Shourya Mk4 represents four years of relentless ground-up aerospace engineering at Sarus Aerospace. Unlike assembled consumer or agricultural drones repackaged for defence, every single core subsystem of the Shourya Mk4—from aerodynamic CAD and carbon fiber autoclave tooling to flight computers, high-voltage battery management systems, and ground control software—has been conceptualized, validated, and produced in-house at our Belagavi facility.
Key Highlights
- 97% Indigenous Content: Zero dependency on black-box imported flight controllers or foreign encryption modules.
- Tool-less Field Deployment: Assembled and pre-flight checked in under 10 minutes by a 2-person crew.
- Extreme Operating Envelope: Validated up to 5,000 meters above Mean Sea Level (MSL) and operating from -20°C in high-altitude northern sectors to +55°C desert conditions.
- GPS-Denied Anti-Jam Navigation: Equipped with frequency hopping radio telemetry and onboard inertial dead reckoning for operation in contested electronic warfare environments.
Operational Roles
- Intelligence, Surveillance & Reconnaissance (ISR) with dual daylight EO and cooled LWIR thermal payload.
- Precision High-Altitude Border Monitoring.
- Emergency Critical Medical & Payload Delivery (up to 5 kg payload capacity for 90-minute sorties).
