A Heron unmanned aircraft system (UAS) of the Indian Naval Air Station (INS) Parundu crashed into a coconut grove at Usilankattuvalasai in Ramanathapuram district, in Tamil Nadu, close to a residential area, while returning to base after completing its routine surveillance operation on Friday.
The UAS, which took off from the INS Parundu base at Uchipuli near here in the afternoon, crashed into the grove at Usilankattuvalasai just behind the naval station around 3.10 pm, Commander Abhijit Barkataky told reporters at the crash site. Prima facie, the accident was caused by some technical flaw and the exact reason would be known only after a detailed investigation, he said.
