New Delhi: In mid -August, the Indian Defense Ministry has successfully tested an advanced American platform for artificial intelligence for autonomous drone control for national security purposes.
The platform built by the Ministry of Defense (MOD), built on the American Defense-Tech Shield Shield AI, will enable the Ministry of Defense (MOD) to involve drones-beyond the visual visual line (BVLOS) Unmanned air vehicles (UAVs)-in areas blocking all communication frequencies, including GPS. The court was carried out in Himachal Pradesh and was used with “Nova 2” drones made for defense and strategic applications.
This step is part of the multiple continuing efforts in the Supreme Indian National Security Office on the reworking of the country’s technology arsenal for defense and warfare. Part of this also includes an order of advanced war robots that would allow India to engage in the interest of geopolitical security outside the border area. The contracts are obtained after the Sindoor Skirdish Operational Skirdish against Pakistan within the phase of emergency procurement of $ 4.5 billion.
Shield AI remains in rivalry to supply the Ministry of Defense his drones, the company said on Monday a statement.
A critical step forward
“These demonstrations represent a critical step forward in promoting India’s efforts to quickly accept the ability of a new generation that strengthen national security and promote native defense innovation,” said Sarjan Shah, General of India at Shield AI.
Shield AI received an export permit from the US and in December last year signed a joint venture with a subsidiary for the defense company Homegrown Conglomerate JSW Group, JSW Defense. The US defense supplier of $ 5.3 billion is a key player in US defense offers worldwide.
The technological platforms form a key part of the planned Indian revision of defense equipment, said veteran defense consultant. The Ministry of Defense through Indian Air Force is also considering similar platforms developed by the indigenous organization Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO).
Mint also said last month that other parts of Indian defense revisions include low latency satellite internet services from Likes Oneweb by Bharti Enterprises. India and the US also spoke to become a signator for the US reciprocal agreement on public procurement (RDPA) – strong defensive cooperation that the US has proposed for several decades to reduce Indian defense ties with Russia. However, the interviews are doing slowly, said the consultant quoted above, but remains on the table for future deployment.
