Growth Opportunities in the Indian Military Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Sector, 2023-2028

Civilian-Military Technology Fusion Will Support Transformational Industry Growth

The rapidly growing commercial UAV sector will support India's indigenization of the military UAV industry. Various government incentives and grants will support the increased participation of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and startups and enhance the civil-military technology transition. The growing R&D on cutting-edge solutions, such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, high-speed and secure communication networks, and data analytics, will contribute toward steady industry growth.
