IG Drones secures patent for indigenous defence drone simulator

IG Drones just scored a patent for India's first fully homegrown defense drone simulator—a big step for tech made in India.
Unveiled by PM Modi at Defence Expo 2022, this simulator is designed, built, and manufactured right here.

TL;DR

How the simulator works

The simulator gives Indian Army, Navy, Air Force, and paramilitary teams a realistic way to practice tough drone missions—even in places where GPS won't work.
With AI and smart terrain features, it's both secure and budget-friendly compared to foreign options.

Patent boosts military readiness

By securing this patent, IG Drones becomes the first Indian company with its own defense drone simulation tech—ending the need to rely on foreign systems.
It's a boost for India's military readiness while keeping risks low.

IG Drones also makes other indigenous drones

Beyond simulators, IG Drones also makes other indigenous drones.
All this helps strengthen India's defense tech scene and pushes the country closer to self-reliance in security gear.
