Drone manufacturer Garuda Aerospace and precision engineering company Micron Instruments have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to jointly develop next-generation unmanned defence systems.
The collaboration highlights a wider push to strengthen India’s domestic defence manufacturing capabilities as the country seeks to reduce dependence on imports while building advanced military technologies.
Garuda Aerospace founder and chief executive Agnishwar Jayaprakash said, “It (the collaboration) opens new opportunities in defence drones, loitering munitions, and next-generation unmanned systems, supporting India’s journey towards technological self-reliance.”
Under the agreement, the two companies will collaborate on product distribution, joint technology development and defence-focused projects.
Their combined expertise is expected to support the development of loitering munitions, payload-enabled unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), and other advanced unmanned systems.
