84. Inclusion of long endurance tactical mini UAS which have the capability to
operate even in GPS denied areas is a necessary consideration. A CONOPS of UAS
launched from land based station and tactically controlled from surface platforms at
least up to 100km line of sight (LOS), with hybrid propulsions is an added advantage in
our context.
