IG Drones secures order from Defence Ministry to supply surveillance drones
IG Drones, India’s leading drone tech company has announced that it has bagged a procurement order from the Defence Ministry to supply drones, for surveillance purposes.
This is a landmark deal the drone manufacturer has secured, to assist the defence ministry in its operations. The order entails supplying drones and essential accessories to the Ministry of Defence. The selected drones have industry-first features and are enabled with 5G capability and have advanced features and exceptional performance, functioning effectively in extreme temperatures and high altitudes. The drone is capable of vertical take-off and landing and can be effectively used in defence and medical applications.
By providing enhanced surveillance capabilities, these drones act as a crucial asset for defence forces, strengthening operational efficiency at the borders. With the advent of 5G services from Telecom Service Providers (TSPs), these drones now boast enhanced precision control capabilities, allowing them to be remotely operated from a command centre, eliminating the need for on-site presence.
They can be deployed from any terrain without requiring a traditional runway. These drones carry a 10 kg payload, with an endurance of around five hours. Moreover, they are IP67 rated for durability. They can be controlled via a combination of NavIC + GPS navigational satellites, ensuring connectivity remains intact even in the upper range of 50 to 60 in case of failsafe activation.
