The Aeronautical Development Establishment (ADE), a premier research and development laboratory under DRDO, has recently sent back a defective Long Range Electro-Optic (LREO) system, the IAI Tamam, to its Israeli manufacturer. This decision was taken after the unit encountered technical difficulties during flight trials.
The LREO system is a critical component of various UAV platforms, providing essential intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance capabilities. The unit’s malfunction has temporarily impacted the operational readiness of these platforms.
ADE has initiated a formal demand with the manufacturer to address the technical issues and ensure the timely repair or replacement of the faulty unit. The laboratory is committed to maintaining the highest standards of operational efficiency and is taking necessary steps to minimize the impact of this setback.
