Kadet Defence Systems Delivers Aerial Target Systems to Philippines

Our Bureau - : Aug 31, 2022 - : 1:48 am

Indian drone manufacturer Kadet Defence Systems has completed deliveries of its JX2 Aerial Target System to the Philippines.

The company claims that it is the first Indian company to export a complete defence system from India to the Philippines. The JX2 Aerial Target System will be used for training and weapon evaluation of surface to air missiles by the Philippine armed forces.

“We completed the delivery in a record time of less than eight weeks from the placement of contract to the delivery of the system. The system included air vehicles, catapult launcher and other ground support equipment. We also had to develop a new thermal payload to enable the aerial target to simulate aerial threats for heat seeking missiles” said Avdhesh Khaitan, CEO of Kadet DS, while speaking to Daily News on the sidelines of the ongoing Defence & Security show.

Khaitan is looking to expand his foot print in the SE Asian and MENA region with the company’s family of aerial targets which includes high speed jet powered sea skimming variants and loitering munition platforms.

The JX2 Aerial Target System is made of composite material and powered by a two-stroke engine. It has a wingspan of 2.5m and length of 2.6m. Line of sight (LOS) range is quoted by the manufacturer as over 40km and the aerial target has an endurance of 45 minutes. It can achieve a speed of more than 60m/s in clean configuration. The catapult launched aerial target has a maximum take-off weight of 35kg and can carry role equipment such as a scoring system, IR flares, Luneberg lens and ISR camera.
