New Delhi, Aug 26 (UNI) The Indian Army is all set to use drones in the modern warfare ecosystem. The swarm drones system has now been inducted into the mechanised forces to provide an edge in meeting future security challenges.
"To induct this niche technology, the Army has procured swarm drones from two Indian startup companies. In addition, the Army has also initiated a Make-II case, Autonomous Surveillance and Armed Drone Swarm (A-SADS) which includes a number of improvements and also a version for High Altitude Area," sources in the defence establishment said.
Swarm drones consist of a number of drones controlled from same station and can carry a variety of payloads in a single mission, thus capable of overwhelming enemy defences by undertaking collaborative attack.
