The
Indian Air Force (IAF) is preparing a major technological upgrade to strengthen
its anti-drone warfare capabilities by equipping its attack helicopters with
Artificial Intelligence (AI)-powered radar systems, specialised micro-missiles,
and advanced electronic warfare equipment. The initiative is part of India’s
broader military modernisation programme following the lessons learnt from
recent conflicts, where drones and loitering munitions emerged as game-changing
weapons.
The proposed capability aims to transform helicopters such as
the AH-64E Apache and the indigenous Light Combat Helicopter (LCH) Prachand
into agile airborne drone hunters capable of detecting, identifying and
destroying hostile unmanned aerial systems (UAS) before they can threaten
military installations or frontline troops.
