French defence major Thales is eyeing the multi-billion dollar Indian UAV market as it aims to increase its presence here by also dipping into the small and medium scale defence industry.
Thales is confident that its new mini UAV Spy'Ranger, being built with a French mid-tier company 'Aviation Design', will find inroads into the Indian market.
Though still under development phase, the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) weighs around 15 kgs and is claimed to have a range of about 30 kms with an endurance of three hours.
"It is difficult not to see India as a potential market," Pascal Secretin, Production Line Manager of the Unmanned Aerial Systems at Thales, said here when asked if Thales was looking at India as a potential market.
The spy ranger is apt for contact intelligence, reconnaissance among others, he said.
