Hostile UAVs have moved from a border nuisance to a first-order threat. A look at the detection, tracking and neutralisation stack India is building — and where indigenous counter-UAS capability stands today.

Beyond visual line of sight is the threshold every serious UAV programme has to cross. What BVLOS demands of the airframe, the link, the autonomy stack and the regulator.
The stretch between hub and hub is where cost and time quietly leak out of a supply chain. How aerial mid-mile transfers compress lead times without new ground infrastructure.
When roads are gone and the window is measured in hours, aerial resupply becomes the only line in. Medicine, food and rescue equipment delivered into zones ground convoys cannot reach.
A milestone for the heavy-lift programme: what the RDI backing means for SABAL 200's development timeline, and for indigenous heavy-payload capability more broadly.
Pulling pilot line across ravines, forests and live corridors used to take crews and days. Aerial stringing collapses that to a single sortie — safely, and without clearing a path.
Bridges, towers, pipelines and plants — what an aerial inspection programme actually looks like end to end, from flight planning to the defect report that lands on a desk.
Across the disaster cycle — assessment, relief, recovery — logistics UAVs do work that no other asset can do at the same speed or at the same risk profile.
