  • The National Aerospace Laboratories (NAL) recently introduced the 'Jaldost Airbot.' This unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is designed to support water-based missions, such as monitoring and surveying water bodies, rivers, and reservoirs, making it a valuable tool for water resource management.
  • The first technology is JALDOST, an airboat that operates on water. It is designed to remove excess aquatic weed and floating waste from water bodies.
  • The JALDOST has a closed airtight pontoon type hull to make it inherently unsinkable. According to NAL, it has a hybrid propulsion system, comprising air propulsion and paddle wheel propulsion.
