Why this matters
It’s a clear marker of a new direction: the Indian military is going all-in on native drone solutions. Drones are no longer an afterthought but an operational necessity. Real-time intelligence, versatility, and combatant safety—this is how warfare is done on silicon wings.
Apollo Micro Systems, famous for its state-of-the-art electronic and electro-mechanical defenses, is gradually making its mark as a major heavyweight player from the private sector in the Indian Defense Manufacturing industry.
