Development and Deployment of Unmanned Aerial Systems in India

Sandeep Unnithan, Editor News9 Live and I had a great discussion on unmanned aerial systems in India holistically. The procurement of the MQ9 Reaper from USA meets today’s requirement and is the need of the hour. However it represents a collective failure of our national security system in having foreseen the problem and doing nothing about it. It is high time we learn from our past and implement mission mode programs on development of a family of drones and counter drone systems as we did for missiles through the IGDMP.
