“印度全球鹰”不负中国军迷所望：首次试飞就摔了！

印度自行研发的中空长航时无人机“鲁斯图姆Ⅰ号”（Rustom）在16日进行的首度试飞中坠毁。据《印度防务》11月17日报道，印度国防研究与发展局的官员表示，虽然发生坠毁事故，但不会因此取消鲁斯图姆项目。

印度国防研究发展组织研制的鲁斯特姆中航程战术无人机

环球网记者关翔报道：

　　报道称，印度国防研究与发展组织（DRDO）有关人员在当天举行的印度国防研究与发展新闻发布会上称：“中空长航时无人机“鲁斯图姆Ⅰ号”于 2009年11月16日在塔内加航天空军基地进行了首次试飞。试飞期间，滑行和起飞测试均严格按照计划，但由于对飞行的高度误判，机载发动机在得到地面指令后关闭使得发动机推力消失，从而造成无人机坠毁。”

　　据印度国防研究机构消息称，印度国防研究与发展组织表示，来自以色列的科学家曾协助位于印度班加罗尔的无人机实验室打造鲁斯图姆。按照惯例，鲁斯图姆将由印度国内军工企业进行制造。会谈中有可能的合作伙伴包括塔塔集团、L＆T公司和戈德瑞和博伊斯，最终决定很可能将在今年年底前公布。

　　报道还称，鲁斯图姆的最长飞行距离为300公里、最高飞行高度为35000英尺，它还将拥有超过24小时的续航时间，250-500公斤的有效载荷以及较低的雷达和声波信号。鲁斯图姆还能够通过卫星进行数据传输，从而使其监控范围超过1000公里以上。鲁斯图姆将搭载以色列的海上巡逻雷达和电子光学传感器，电子战和通信系统将由印度自行生产。

　　"鲁斯特姆"无人机是一种中空长航时（Medium-Altitude Long-Endurance，MALE)无人机，由印度国防研究发展组织（Defence Research and Development Organisation，DRDO）下属的航空发展机构（Aeronautical Development Establishment，ADE）负责领导研发，其主要技术性能将能与同时代的先进无人机（如目前在印度武装部队服役的以色列"苍鹭"无人机）相媲美。

　　即将试飞的"鲁斯特姆"技术验证机的尺寸将比原始设计小，但具有与标准"鲁斯特姆"无人机相同的构型，ADE将通过"鲁斯特姆"技术验证机对未来用于"鲁斯特姆"无人机的技术进行测试验证。按计划，"鲁斯特姆"技术验证机今后将会进行10次左右的试飞，其中包括地面滑行和无人驾驶状态下的常规起降。

　　号称"印度版全球鹰"。。。。。。

NEW DELHI - In a setback to India's indigenous long-range endurance UAV program， a technology demonstrator of the Medium-Altitude Long-Endurance (MALE) UAV， named Rustom， crashed during the first trials Nov。 16。

　　Sources in India's defense research agency， the Defence Research and Development Organization (DRDO)， said scientists from Israeli had helped engineers from the Aeronautical Developmental Establishment， DRDO's Bangalore-based UAV laboratory， to build Rustom。

　　"First flight of the technology demonstrator for MALE UAV called Rustom-I took place on 16-11-2009 at the Taneja Aerospace Air Field near Hosur。 The taxiing and takeoff was exactly as planned。 Due to misjudgment of altitude of the flight， the on-board engine was switched off through ground command which made the on-board thrust developed to go to zero，" said the official Nov。 17 DRDO news release。

　　In a departure from traditional practice， Rustom will be produced in partnership with a domestic defense firm。 Talks to select the partner， which include the Tata Group， L&；；T and Godrej &；； Boyce， are likely to be concluded by year's end， said DRDO scientists。

　　DRDO officials said the crash would not scrap the Rustom project。

　　"There are a lot of gains from the flight。 The flight proved the functioning of number of systems such as aerodynamics， redundant flight control， engine， redundant data link etc which go a long way toward development of complex UAVs，" the news release said。

　　The Rustom would be equipped for intelligence， surveillance， target acquisition and reconnaissance； communication and data relay； and scientific and meteorological operations。 It will be able to operate in all climates， day or night； have autonomous takeoff and landing from a runway； be capable of carrying guided weapons； have a payload capacity of 250-500 kilograms； and have a low radar and acoustic signature。

　　The Rustom will be able to remain aloft for more than 24 hours and have a range of 300 kilometers and a maximum altitude of 35，000 feet。 It will be able to use satellite links to transmit data， thereby extending its surveillance range beyond 1，000 kilometers。

　　The 1，100-kilogram UAV also will be equipped with a maritime patrol radar and electro-optic sensors from Israel， and an engine still to be determined。 The electronic warfare and communication system will be indigenous。

　　居然还是以色列专家帮着搞的，咋搞出个这么难看的气动外形来。。。。。。而坠毁原因居然是高度数据错误，结果误关了发动机。。。。。。

　　An Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV)， on a test flight， hit a coconut tree and crashed in farmland near Hosur in Krishnagiri district of western Tamil Nadu on Monday afternoon。

　　The remote-controlled unmanned aerial vehicle (R-1-1) developed by the defence ministry's Aeronautical Development Establishment took off from a private airstrip at Belagondapalli village， about 40 km from Bangalore， around 4。5 pm。 The UAV was about 3 m long and 1。5 m wide。 After hovering over the private airstrip of Taneja Aerospace and Aviation Ltd。 for a few minutes， the aircraft， operated by remote control， lost direction and crashed onto an adjacent coconut farm。 Luckily， farmer Mariappan， who owned the farmlands， and other labourers on the field had left for lunch。 "There was no casualty。 Only the aircraft broke into pieces，" said Belagondapalli police inspector Saravanan。 No case has been registered as no damage was caused to the farmland。

　　An official of the private airstrip said the "aerial vehicle" was test-flown for research。 The remote control device is said to have developed a snag and that led to the crash。
