Pune-based defense technology company Aethrone Aerospace has successfully conducted harbour trials of its aerial delivery system for 50 kg underwater autonomous targets. This milestone marks a significant advancement in integrating aerial platforms with underwater unmanned systems, showcasing the company’s ability to deliver autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) via airborne systems.
The trials demonstrated the system’s capability to accurately deliver 50 kg payloads designed for underwater operations. The next phase involves testing the technology with manned helicopters, a critical step toward operational readiness. Aethrone Aerospace also plans to extend this capability to shipborne unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), enabling the deployment of swarms of unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs) in maritime environments.
By integrating aerial and underwater autonomous systems, Aethrone Aerospace aims to revolutionize how modern naval forces conduct multi-domain operations, enhancing operational efficiency and strategic capabilities.
