Aludra SR-10
Composite Technology Research Malaysia · Malaysia
The Aludra SR-10 is a lightweight surveillance UAV built by Composite Technology Research Malaysia (CTRM), developed as a smaller, mini-class derivative of the Aludra tactical UAV family for light reconnaissance work.
Overview
The Aludra SR-10 belongs to the same CTRM product family as the larger Aludra Mk1, but is built as a compact, easily transportable platform rather than a full tactical-class system. Wikipedia describes it as a "lightweight UAV designed for light surveillance role," and it has also been referenced in Malaysian academic aerospace research on parachute-based recovery systems, indicating continued technical development interest in the airframe.
Design and capabilities
The SR-10 is a small fixed-wing aircraft roughly 0.4 m long with a 0.8 m wingspan and a maximum take-off weight of about 2 kg — small enough to be hand-carried and launched without ground infrastructure. CTRM's original specifications quote roughly 1 hour of endurance, an operating range of about 15 km, a top speed near 130 km/h and a service ceiling of about 4,000 m, putting it in the mini-UAV class alongside other light reconnaissance drones.
Operational history
Public documentation of the SR-10's operational service is limited compared with the Mk1. It is most fully documented as a design study and light-surveillance derivative within the Aludra family, including coverage at Malaysia's DSA defence exhibition and in a published computational-fluid-dynamics study of its parachute recovery system.
Variants
The SR-10 is one of several Aludra-family derivatives from CTRM, alongside the larger Mk1/Mk2/Mk5 tactical UAVs and later prototypes such as Aludra Camar and Aludra EE.
