Lakshya is an Indian remotely guided rapid target ramble framework created by the Aeronautical Development Establishment (ADE) of DRDO. A variation Lakshya-1 is utilized to perform tactful aeronautical observation of front line and target acquisition.

The automaton remotely guided by a ground control station gives reasonable towed elevated sub-focuses for live fire preparing. The automaton is ground or ship dispatched from a zero length launcher and recuperation is by a two-stage parachute framework created by ADE (DRDO), for area or ocean based recuperation. The automaton has a crushable nose cone, which ingests the effect of landing, minimizing harm. The flight way might be controlled or pre-customized, based upon the kind of mission.

The improvement action was gotten ready for finishing inside five years. In parallel, an improvement venture for indigenous advancement of PTA Engine (PTAE-7) was likewise authorized at an expected expense of ₹45 million (US$668,700.00) to Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) in September 1980, in view of a practicality study and venture proposition presented by HAL. The motor was to be produced by HAL by September 1985, simultaneously with the PTA. HAL reported the fruitful trial of the indigenously-outlined and created remote-controlled PTAE-7 plane motor on 24 January 2001

A changed observation variant of the Lakshya is a work in progress. This rendition was fitted with diagonal cameras and a computerized locally available PC with a speedier information join empowering the automaton to do totally self-ruling operations. The advancement of this variant was formally reported by Dr VK Aatre, then Scientific Adviser to the Defense Minister, amid his address on "Developing Battlefields and Role of Technology" composed by Bangalore Science Forum on 5 July 2003.
