The Hermes-900 Drone is making headlines this week with the upcoming induction of its first also known as the Drishti-10. The official ceremony for inducting the first Hermes-900 is scheduled for May 18th, 2024, in Hyderabad. This event signifies a crucial step in modernizing India's border security apparatus.
This marks a significant step forward in fortifying surveillance capabilities along the nation's western border with Pakistan.
Why the Hermes-900?
The Hermes-900 is a
Medium-Altitude Long-Endurance (MALE) drone, known for its extended range and
ability to stay airborne for lengthy missions. This makes it ideal for
patrolling vast stretches of the border, providing real-time intelligence and
imagery to Indian forces.
Boosting Security
The deployment of these drones
will allow the army to keep a watchful eye over remote areas, including the
desert sector and regions north of Punjab. This enhanced vigilance is expected
to deter infiltration attempts and other security threats.
Make in India Initiative
The Indian Army has placed orders
for two Hermes-900 drones with Adani Defence Systems. These drones are part of a larger "Make
in India" initiative, with at least 70% of the components being
indigenously manufactured.
