As a part of this collaboration, TDAC and DFI will increase the Navy-Industry-Academia synergy, and source technology development challenges toward component indigenization. A special maritime drone testing site shall also be earmarked for the Indian drone industry to facilitate faster development and testing of drones, especially in maritime environments, thus enabling development for a host of applications.

Under the agreement:

• Additionally, programmes on sensitization and skill development shall also be undertaken as a part of this collaboration.
• TDAC has been working towards accelerating the development of indigenous technologies to be utilized by the Indian Navy.
• Drone Federation of India will help us in developing a deeper industry connection as well as create a stronger roadmap for induction of drone platforms in the Indian Navy in a time-bound manner.
• The maritime testing site being developed under this initiative will accelerate the development of versatile and reliable drone platforms for advanced maritime use cases like maritime patrol, drone landings on moving ships, ship-to-ship deliveries, ship-to-shore deliveries, etc.
