IAF has decided to develop long-range kamikaze drones in partnership with Indian industry.

IAF’s 5 Base Repair Depot at Sulur, will serve as the nodal agency.

IAF’s direct involvement in developing a military platform marks a significant shift from the usual procurement model. #Drones #Defence

RedonSystems’ BheeshanHMV Barrel Munition Launcher successfully completed field firing trials at the Uttarakhand Army Base, deploying multiple Achuk-150 Loitering Munitions with a 30-60 km range that autonomously acquired, locked, and struck targets with precision while demonstrating exceptional operational capability in extreme sub-zero Himalayan conditions. #Defence #Drones

Indian defense firm SMPP has partnered with European land defense leader KNDS to locally manufacture advanced loitering munitions and drones under the "Make in India" initiative.

the strategic agreement covers the production of VELOCE and RODEUR loitering munition systems alongside the ISTAR drone family to supply the Indian Army with deep-strike capabilities. This collaboration includes technology transfer. #Defence #Drones

A new era of logistics is taking flight in Assam. Drone-powered postal services will connect remote regions faster than ever, reducing delivery times from hours to minutes. With real-time tracking and eco-friendly operations.

Punjab-based Astra Drones has developed an indigenous high-speed interceptor drone. #Drones #Defence

The Indian Army is looking for an indigenous long range loiter munition (LRLM) system with 1,000-km strike envelope.

One way attack drones to be acquired from Indian companies under Make II.

Kill radius of 50 m, ability to evade jamming, have to incorporate AI enabled targeting.

Needs to fly over 5000 m, achieve speeds of atleast 400 kmph. #Defence #Drones

🚨 Bengaluru-based VECROS has launched their autonomous warehouse inspection drone JASPER.

This drone can operate without GPS, generate high-fidelity 3D scans, detect anomalies using onboard AI in real time and send encrypted insights. #Drones #Logistics

The Indian Army has floated a Make-II Project proposal to procure indigenous drone-mounted radars that can "see through" dense foliage for counter-insurgency ops in J&K and the Northeast. The lightweight drones should weigh under 20kg, fly 60-120 min with 5-10km range, and provide real-time data to troops. The Army wants 60% indigenous content and will buy systems that meet technical requirements. #Defence #Drones

ZOLT UAS, developed by ideaForge Labs, has demonstrated an experimental autonomous aerial system designed for precision tactical payload deployment.

Building on earlier Air-Launched Effects trials, the system combines long-range reach with accurate final-phase delivery, highlighting how multiple autonomous platforms can extend mission capabilities when operating together.
