Executed under realistic operational conditions, the exercise demonstrated the effective deployment of drones for Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR), as well as real-time sensor-to-shooter links and precision targeting throughout the tactical and operational layers of the battlefield.
A primary objective was to enhance command reach and situational awareness for tactical commanders through layered surveillance and support for dynamic decision-making.
The exercise also tested critical enablers for battlefield drone integration, including airspace deconfliction, secure communications and coordination protocols across multiple arms and services.
With a vision to build a technology-enabled Army, the Indian Army continues to lead in adopting niche technologies that boost preparedness and adaptability for future challenges.
Exercise Drone Prahar represents a landmark achievement, reinforcing the Indian Army's dedication to innovation, agility and technological superiority on the modern battlefield.
