Our Bureau - : Sep 25, 2024 - : 2:43 am

Pakistan’s state-owned Global Industrial and Defence Solutions (GIDS) is showcasing Taimoor, a highly precise, long-range and all weather capable air launched cruise missile (ALCM), in Azerbaijan.


The ALCM can be deployed in the air-to-ground operational role, and is capable of carrying conventional warheads for land attack and for precise land attack missions, incorporating an imaging infra-red seeker, a company official said.


With a range of 290 kilometres, the weapon can fly very low over ground at a programmable height by reducing the detection probability, thus increasing its survivability. It is equipped with warheads designed for lethality against specific targets.
It has a launch speed of 350 Kias / 0.55 Mach ~ 550 Kias / 0.85 Mach, and can cruise at
0.7 ~ 0.8 Mach (450 ~ 500 knots), at an altitude of 2000 to 25000 feet. The weapon is 4.38 meters long and weighs1100 kilograms.

Shahpar-II (block-II)
GIDS is also presenting the indigenous MALE class combat UCAV Shahpar-II (block-II) to the global audience from here. This version, as we know, is the successor of the Shahpar-II (block-I) with superior features and newer aerodynamic design. The combat version of block-II has an endurance of 12 hours and a ceiling of 21000 feet.
The maximum take-off weight is 1075 kg and it is capable of carrying four air-to-ground-missiles in the operational mode. It has a data link range of 300 km and 1500 km (with SATCOM).


The company official said that Pakistan has covered a long way in achieving a strong foothold of attaining stronger and superior defence capability in multifaceted realms including high-tech systems and UAVs, and is making all efforts to push the new indigenously designed and built MALE-class UCAV on the export market..
“All these UAVs are battle-proven with a capability to operate effectively in hostile
environments and are successfully in service with the Pakistan Armed Forces,” the official said.
