Market Overview A Promising Future for UAV Development Powered by the Indian Aviation Industry Boom

Successful utilization of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) in the Kashmir region, coupled with India’s aviation industry boom, is expected to provide UAV development programs the necessary foundation to succeed in the immediate future. India’s UAV market has been idle in the last two decades and has not followed up on the earlier successes of indigenous UAVs. Hence, the government has targeted a few areas in the Indian armed forces that need modernization. The introduction of UAVs is one of the first steps taken in this direction. In the future, the utilization of UAVs in India’s military is expected to eventually spillover to commercial industries as well.

"UAV technologies are expected to re-shape national defense strategies and policies, and are currently being tested in real-world situations by the Indian armed forces," says the analyst of this research service. "Early test results have proven that this technology will be very useful and successful in different types of operations." In addition, maritime operations, as well as surveillance and reconnaissance operations in India are boosting the demand for medium altitude long endurance UAV (MALE UAVs) and tactical UAV (TUAVs).

India’s Lack of Focus and Technological Capabilities Drives the Need for a Concerted Framework for Current and Future UAV Development Programs

"For several years, the lack of technology development capabilities has dogged India’s UAV programs," notes the analyst. "Hence, several institutions have been set up by the government to focus exclusively on UAV developments." Moreover, the lack of focus on India’s UAV development has resulted in delayed and cancelled development programs.

To overcome this and become a major participant in the Asia Pacific UAV industry, government-linked organizations have been set up to provide a concerted framework for current and future development programs." The Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO) is one such institution that assists India to be self-reliant in terms of UAV technology. In view of India’s extensive use of the UAV technology, the country’s armed forces are expected to be well equipped. In addition, India is likely to require non-domestic partnerships in the immediate future to proceed with indigenous research and development.
