The Indian Army has launched a significant document titled “Indian Army’s Technology Roadmap for Unmanned Aerial Systems and Loitering Munitions,” which outlines its long-term requirements for unmanned platforms and precision strike systems. Released by Lieutenant General Rahul R Singh, Deputy Chief of Army Staff (CD&S), the roadmap aims to clarify future needs for industry and academia while promoting indigenous innovation under the Aatmanirbhar Bharat initiative. The document details 30 types of unmanned aerial systems and loitering munitions, which will cover various roles including surveillance, strike, air defense support, and logistics applications. It is anticipated that this framework will lead to the development of nearly 80 variants based on specific terrain and operational requirements. The roadmap includes specifications, life cycles, and quantities to guide future procurement and development. Collaboration with domestic players, such as the Drone Federation India, is a key focus to enhance the capabilities of next-generation unmanned systems for future warfare.
