Garuda Aerospace, a leading agritech startup based in Chennai, has announced its plans to concentrate on the development of swarm drones, tethered drones, and underwater drones. The company is also gearing up for the inauguration of its new Defence Drone Facility in Chennai.
The Defence Drone Facility, spanning 30,000 square feet, will be equipped with state-of-the-art design, manufacturing, and testing facilities. This facility, developed in partnership with Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) and BEML Limited, will focus on indigenizing drone subsystem development and local production of critical components, such as motors, batteries, and transmitters.
Garuda Aerospace’s decision to focus on swarm, tethered, and underwater drones aligns with the growing demand for these technologies in various sectors, including agriculture, defense, and infrastructure development. Swarm drones, consisting of multiple drones operating in coordination, can be used for tasks such as precision agriculture, surveillance, and search and rescue operations.
Tethered drones, which are connected to the ground by a tether, can provide continuous power and data transmission, making them suitable for applications like remote sensing and environmental monitoring. Underwater drones, also known as autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs), can be used for tasks such as seabed mapping, underwater inspections, and search and rescue missions.
The establishment of the Defence Drone Facility in Chennai is a significant milestone for Garuda Aerospace and the Indian drone industry. By focusing on indigenous development and local production, the company aims to reduce India’s reliance on foreign imports and boost its self-sufficiency in the drone sector.
