The Indian Army is exploring the use of unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) as autonomous anti-drone systems to enhance defenses against drone swarms, especially following lessons learned from the recent conflict with Pakistan in May 2025, termed Operation Sindoor. This conflict, which involved a significant drone battle, revealed vulnerabilities in static air defenses against sophisticated drone incursions. To address these challenges, the Army aims to develop UGVs that can autonomously engage hostile drones, forming dynamic defensive grids around critical assets. The initiative aligns with India’s push for indigenous military solutions, incorporating artificial intelligence for enhanced operational effectiveness and resilience against electronic warfare, reflecting a proactive adaptation to evolving battlefield dynamics.
