China has beaten us. So has Iran for that matter. When it comes to drone we are not a serious player. Until we don't make drones on par with Iran and turkey I don't think we are in any position to compare ourselves with the Chinese.
Mahindra Group, US-based Anduril to co-develop AI-driven security systems
The partnership seeks to develop modular autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) designed for security, surveillance, reconnaissance, and survey operations. These AUVs will offer rapid deployment capabilities, bolstering underwater operational efficiency.
The Mahindra Group said on Wednesday, February 19, it has entered into a strategic partnership with US-based technology firm Anduril Industries, which specialises in autonomous systems, to co-develop and manufacture advanced security and surveillance technologies.
The collaboration will focus on autonomous maritime systems, AI-driven counter-unmanned aerial system (CUAS) solutions, and next-generation command and control (C2) software, aimed at enhancing regional security and operational capabilities.
The partnership seeks to develop modular autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) designed for security, surveillance, reconnaissance, and survey operations. These AUVs will offer rapid deployment capabilities, bolstering underwater operational efficiency.
Additionally, the two companies will work on CUAS technologies to detect and neutralise potential drone threats, providing enhanced protection against evolving aerial security challenges.
"This collaboration combines our deep engineering expertise with Anduril’s innovative solutions to deliver cutting-edge capabilities that enhance security and address emerging threats," said Vinod Sahay, Group Executive Board Member, Mahindra Group, adding that the partnership marks the group's commitment to developing advanced securities and autonomous technologies.
The collaboration includes the development of a sensor fusion platform that will integrate multiple sensor technologies within an open API architecture. The initiative is expected to streamline the incorporation of advanced technologies into security frameworks, facilitating faster adoption across various defence and surveillance applications.
“Global security forces face a rapidly evolving set of threats from both emerging unmanned systems and legacy manned platforms, and autonomy is key to maintaining a credible protection," noted Greg Kausner, Senior Vice President of Global Defence, Anduril Industries, emphasising the significance of autonomy in modern security challenges.
With security threats becoming increasingly sophisticated, the partnership aims to develop solutions that will enhance operational readiness and strengthen India's defence capabilities. The companies have not disclosed specific timelines or project details but are expected to focus on rapidly deploying these technologies to meet evolving security demands.

Per a government factsheet, India used to rely on foreign countries for much of its weapons, with "65-70% of defense equipment being imported. However, this landscape has dramatically shifted, with around 65% of defense equipment now manufactured within India."

What we really need is low cost, fiber optic fpv drones in tens of thousands. This high tech, high cost guided bombs, or few hundred high cost loitering ammunition isn't going to make a difference in real battle field.
If you look at the Russia Ukraine war, the most impactful equipments are low cost, low tech equipments that can be deployed in large numbers.
Example, FAB bombs, FPV drones (both fiber optic and other), naval drone, long range kamikaze drones. The whole guided bombs for drones doesn't make any sense. In real world battle fields, drones are using low cost, highly available equipments like RPG and land mines as weapons.

Fiber works in Ukraine because of its geography. It's a very flat land with no obstructions.
Why don’t we use FPV drones against naxals? Let’s say they are hiding in a small cabin in the forest, using FPV drones to target them makes sense. We need not loose even 1 soldier in such encounters.
