Swarm drones are the solution for a closely contested airspace where individual drones can be taken down. The IAF will also induct operational swarming UAS in the near future. The drones delivered by NewSpace, and a follow-on homogeneous swarm drone delivery from Raphe Mphibr in days ahead, will be inducted into the mechanised forces where they will be used for surveillance and attack missions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SWARM drones: The Indian Army is the first major armed force in the world to operationalize these high-density SWARM drones
