It won’t be wrong if we say its raining Drones in India as India is celebrating Bharat Drone Mahotsav 2022 with participation from many prominent firms such as Bharat Dynamics Limited (BDL), Adani Defense, Zen Technologies etc to name a few.
It is India’s biggest Drone Festival with participation from 70 drone exhibitors. The two day event which was held on 27 May 2022 and 28 May 2022 at Pragati Maidan in the national capital.

BDL Armed drone at Drone Mahotsav 2022
The Armed Quadcopter Drone showcased by BDL is the small flock of armed swarm drones to conduct saturation strikes over ground targets. It has a unique operating mode where, the done is capable of detecting, evaluating and designate targets by Drone Optronic System. The missile attached with the drone then detects the designated target, locks and homes on the target and destroy it.
The BDL’s drone can launch standoff missiles and drone launched air-to-ground munition of upto 3.5 kilograms. Two different types of missiles was displayed by BDL of 1kg and 3.5kg which is called JISNU-M with semi active laser homing. It can also be armed with an anti-armour missile having a range of 1km with top attack capability.
The quadcopter weighs just 4.5kg and has VTOL capabilities i.e. can land and take-off vertically and can reach maximum altitude of 1.5km.
These drones will be quite useful to perform the saturation attack against SAM systems, armoured column and troop concentration.
