India’s defense industry achieved a significant milestone with the SWITCH UAV, developed by ideaForge Technology Limited, receiving a NATO Stock Number (NSN), which validates its compliance with international military standards. This recognition enhances India’s position as a global hub for drone innovation and opens new avenues for defense exports, particularly for integrated NATO procurement. The SWITCH, designed for challenging conditions with a maximum endurance of two hours and advanced features, has already garnered interest from the Indian Army. This achievement not only solidifies India’s growing defense capabilities but also reinforces the potential for expanded collaboration with allied forces on a global scale.
