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.
