Requirements of Indian UAS applications have been analysed rigorously by the team and
AARUSH X1 has been tailored for these needs. An extensive market analysis has been
conducted to study the applications of the UAS and derive the preliminary Statement of
Objectives. The team is now working on finding an Indian industry partner for
commercialisation of AARUSH X1.
The DTU UAV is capable of carrying a payload of 8-10 kg and is able to attain a flying
speed up to 120 kmph. It has great potential and number of civilian applications. The
applications of the vehicle are Civil Law Enforcement, Geomatics, Metrological Operations,
Pipeline Surveillance, Mining Surveillance, Disaster Management, Coast and Border patrol
and News and Reporting agencies. Recently the DTU-UAV was placed overall 3rd after
Cornell University and California State University, Northridge amongst 35 international
teams at the 10th Annual SUAS competition organised by AUVSI 2012 in Maryland in June
2012. The team has been awarded a trophy and a cash prize of $5100 did extremely well
in all the mission, journal paper and oral presentation. The UAV team has achieved a fully
autonomous take-off, autonomous waypoint navigation and search area with autonomous
imagery as well. DTU-UAS defeated some of the biggies of the competition like North

always been in the top five teams. For more information log onto www.uasdtu.com.
