In order to jointly host “Bharat Drone Shakti 2023,” the Indian Air Force (IAF) is working with the Drone Federation of India after realizing the potential of domestic drone design and development. According to a press release from the Ministry of Defence, this event, which is slated for September 25 and 26, will take place at the IAF’s Hindan airbase in Ghaziabad and feature live aerial demonstrations. In India, the use of drones for both military and non-military purposes is growing.
According to the press release, drone technology has quickly changed both the civil and defense sectors by increasing efficiency, lowering risk exposure, and elevating capabilities. In deploying remotely piloted aircraft for intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance missions, the IAF has extensive experience. According to the press release, the IAF started the Meher Baba Swarm Drone competition to capitalize on India’s burgeoning drone technology industry and demonstrate its confidence in the country’s drone capabilities.
Now, with ‘Bharat Drone Shakti 2023,’ the IAF is poised to further leverage this expertise.
‘Bharat Drone Shakti 2023’ promises to spotlight the full potential of the Indian drone industry, with an impressive lineup of over 50 live aerial demonstrations.
These demonstrations will encompass a diverse range of drone applications, including survey drones, agriculture drones, fire suppression drones, tactical surveillance drones, heavy-lift logistics drones, loitering munition systems, drone swarms, and counter-drone solutions, said the release.
The event will also witness the active participation of more than 75 drone start-ups and corporate entities.
