The Indian Army is exploring a proposal to enhance its Kalyani M4 armoured vehicles, transforming them into automated mobile anti-drone units to counter aerial threats along high-altitude borders. This initiative aims to provide the vehicles with advanced detection and neutralization systems for small and medium-sized drones, crucial for safeguarding troops in contested environments. The M4’s indigenous engineering, combined with its modular upgrade design, allows for swift integration of anti-drone capabilities without extensive retrofitting. This advancement is particularly significant for units deployed in Jammu & Kashmir and along the Line of Actual Control, addressing emerging threats from drone warfare and bolstering operational readiness amidst evolving challenges.
