The Indian Army’s Rising Star Corps successfully assembled 50 drones in just three hours during the Dronathan exercise at Mamun Military Station, highlighting its commitment to indigenous innovation and operational readiness. Utilizing 3D-printed and army-developed components, this initiative aligns with India’s Make in India and Atmanirbhar Bharat programs, reinforcing self-sufficiency and reducing dependence on foreign suppliers amid geopolitical tensions. The exercise demonstrates the Gurj Division’s technical prowess and mission readiness, enhancing the Army’s agility in modern warfare and supporting the Decade of Transformation initiative focused on technology absorption and reforms, thereby setting a precedent in wartime resilience for the Indian military.
