The Lihiniya MK 1 (Sinhala: ලිහිණියා මාක් 1) is an unmanned aerial vehicle under development by the Sri Lanka Air Force (SLAF) and the Centre for Research and Development (CRD) as an experimental platform to test technologies for its indigenous UAV program. [1] During the civil war the SLAF used UAVs for reconnaissance ...
The CATV is a 4x4 ATV. The vehicle was designed by Sri Lankan Engineers from Ideal Motors and the Navy. The engine, gear system and the chassis is produced by Mahindra while the rest is fabricated locally reducing costs to LKR 8 million while an imported vehicle would cost LKR 20 million.
Further development continued in 1985, by both the Sri Lanka Electrical and Mechanical Engineers (SLEME) of the Sri Lanka Army [4] and the General Engineering Wing of the Sri Lanka Air Force [5] Both designs were based on the South African Buffels which had been bought in 1985. [6] The air force developed its own APC for the SLAF Regiment in ...
Trajectory optimization is the process of designing a trajectory that minimizes (or maximizes) some measure of performance while satisfying a set of constraints. Generally speaking, trajectory optimization is a technique for computing an open-loop solution to an optimal control problem. It is often used for systems where computing the full ...
No. 111 Air Surveillance Squadron is a squadron of the Sri Lanka Air Force operating in the reconnaissance role using unmanned aerial vehicles.It currently operates the IAI Searcher Mk II from SLAF Vavuniya.
Transport in Sri Lanka is based on its road network, which is centred on the country's commercial capital Colombo. A rail network handles a portion of Sri Lanka 's transport needs. There are navigable waterways, harbours and three international airports: in Katunayake , 35 kilometres (22 mi) north of Colombo, in Hambantota, and in Jaffna.
Armoured fighting vehicles produced in Austria. SPz Ulan (modern, co-development with Spain); Steyr 4K 7FA tracked armoured personnel carrier/infantry fighting vehicle (production from 1977 for Bolivia, Greece (as Leonidas) and Nigeria).
The idea would be to use the vehicle's wings to generate lift and pull up into a new ballistic trajectory, exiting the atmosphere again and giving the vehicle time to cool off between the skips. [6] It was later demonstrated that the heating load during the skips was much higher than initially calculated, and would have melted the spacecraft. [7]
