Indian Army to get loitering munitions worth ₹1,577 crore
The defence ministry signed two contracts with Tata Advanced Systems and Nibe for loitering munitions and equipment to boost Army’s precision-strike.
The Indian Army has secured two contracts worth ₹1,577 crore each with Tata Advanced Systems Ltd and Nibe Pvt Ltd for the procurement of loitering munitions, or kamikaze drones, and related equipment. These unmanned aerial systems are expected to enhance the precision-strike capabilities of the Indian Army's artillery regiments, boosting the overall operational effectiveness of the military force.
The Ministry of Defence emphasizes that these loitering munition systems are critical equipment that can significantly improve the Army's capabilities. The Army aims to induct tens of thousands of locally manufactured unmanned aerial systems and loitering munitions over the next five years, as part of their commitment to the 'Buy Indian' scheme, which supports the vision of self-reliance in defence.
