Correct Answer: Option B — IIT Kanpur
The RUAV-200 (Remotely Piloted Helicopter) is a specialized coaxial rotor drone designed for "last-mile" logistics in high-altitude regions like Siachen. It is a collaborative project between:

Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL)

Aeronautical Development Establishment (ADE), which is a premier lab under the DRDO.

IIT Kanpur, which provided significant expertise in flight control systems and autonomous navigation.

Key Features of the RUAV-200:

Coaxial Rotor System: It uses two rotors mounted one above the other on the same axis, rotating in opposite directions. This provides high lift and stability in the thin air of high-altitude environments without the need for a tail rotor.

Payload: It is designed to carry a payload of approximately 30 kg at altitudes up to 6,000 meters.

Purpose: It acts as a "Mule Drone," transporting essential supplies (food, medicine, ammunition) to troops stationed at forward posts where manual transport is dangerous or slow.
