Mumbai, December 11, 2023: DroneAcharya Aerial Innovations Limited has launched its latest innovation, ushering in a new era of Defense Technology in India. Introducing the FPV (First Person View) Drones — a game-changer in asymmetric warfare, designed to offer cost - effective solutions for a spectrum of military operations, including counter insurgency, LOC/LAC surveillance and mechanized operations.
DroneAcharya's FPV Drones have emerged as a strategic asset, having already showcased their unparalleled efficacy in recent conflicts such as the Russia - Ukraine War and the Armenia - Azerbaijan War.
These state - of - the - art high speed mini drones operate at speeds exceeding 150 kmph in a GPS denied environment. FPVs have not only proven their worth using its sheer kinetic force but have excelled in providing real - time video feed, maneuver in enclosed spaces with ease, fly under canopy cover like jungles, track and follow objects, drop arsenal and can also be used as Kamikaze or Self - Destruction drones by installing warheads on them. The uniqueness of the FPV lies in the sensor & shooter being one i.e the pilot. DroneAcharya has demonstrated these platforms in the Army’s Northern Command and participated in the recently concluded integrated Fire Power Exercise AGNIPRAHAR held in Pokhran in Rajasthan.
Its potential employment is vast – for use by Paramilitary forces on the borders, State police forces engaged in anti-terror operations and Special Forces for precision attacks besides the Army.
"At DroneAcharya, our mission is to equip India's Armed Forces with cutting - edge technology that ensures superiority, efficiency, and safety in challenging environments," stated Prateek Srivastava, Founder and Managing Director of DroneAcharya. "The FPV Drones are a testament to our commitment, offering a comprehensive package that integrates the drone platform, intelligent payloads, and thorough training for seamless handling and optimal performance."
“We are proud to pioneer this transformational technology for the Defence Forces of India. The FPV is testimony to the growing relevance of man-machine teaming that is the future of modern warfare. Six FPVs in a backpack of a soldier can create more havoc in a battlefield than half a dozen tanks or guns", adds Major General (Dr) Mandip Singh, SM, VSM (Retd) who is currently the President - Strategic Alliances at DroneAcharya and has served in the Indian Army for more than three decades in the past.
