INTRODUCTION
AWC starded its operation in 1992. Its working under umbrella of NESCOM. Although still a nascent organization, its position in the field of Air Delivered Weapon System is unmatched. It is located near Wah Cantt. (Pakistan). AWC is involved in developing and manufacturing different kinds of air and ground weapons. AWC is one of the leading organizations in Pakistan in the field of Air Delivered Weapons/Systems. The Air Weapons Complex manufactures a variety of air delivered weapons, including extended range bombs, Target penetration bombs and Infra-Red Search and Track Systems.

UAV Project
The Air Weapons Complex embarked on a project for the indigenous development of UAV's in the middle of 1998. The Sky Tracker and Sky Navigator suite of software were developed for the ground-based tracking of remotely piloted vehicles (RPV's) / unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV's). The software gets the UAV's GPS positional data from a radio data link. This data is used to show the position of the UAV as a 2D plot along with essential UAV data like, speed, altitude, heading etc. This plot can be overlaid onto area maps also. This information is used by the pilot for flying the UAV beyond visual range.
