Unmanned and autonomous systems are redefining the battlespace. From intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) to precision strike, logistics, and mine-clearing, UAVs and robotic platforms are now central to every modern military doctrine.
India's armed forces have accelerated UAV induction across all three services. The Army, Navy, and Air Force are deploying tactical and strategic drones, while DRDO has made significant advances in MALE UAVs, loitering munitions, and underwater unmanned vehicles.
The government's Drone Rules 2021 and the PLI scheme for drones have catalysed a domestic industry now comprising 100+ manufacturers. Companies like Ideaforge, Garuda Aerospace, and Alpha Design are building platforms that meet armed forces' requirements while targeting global export markets.
AI-powered decision support, swarm intelligence, and edge computing are pushing autonomy levels higher — enabling platforms that can operate in GPS-denied, communications-jammed environments with minimal human control.
Bharat Defence Tech Show (BDTS) 2026 dedicates dedicated sessions and showcase zones to unmanned systems — enabling innovators, OEMs, and procurement agencies to connect, evaluate, and accelerate adoption of India's most critical emerging defence technology.
