The Indian Army is exploring the integration of heavy cargo drones to enhance connectivity in high-altitude regions. According to sources within the establishment, the Army is considering deploying these unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for last-mile delivery of essential supplies.
Discussions are currently underway with stakeholders to identify suitable cargo-carrying UAVs capable of transporting significant payloads. The Army aims to acquire new drones that can meet the specific requirements of high-altitude operations.
In addition to the UAV initiative, the Army is also actively involved in the research and development of robotic mules. In collaboration with the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), the Army Service Corps (ASC) is working on developing these robotic assistants. The robotic mules are expected to provide valuable support in challenging terrain, particularly in high-altitude areas.
The Army’s efforts to explore advanced technologies like drones and robotic mules demonstrate its commitment to modernizing its capabilities and ensuring effective logistics support in challenging environments. By leveraging these innovative solutions, the Army can enhance its operational efficiency and meet the growing demands of high-altitude operations.
