Army's Combat Swarm Drones Fly In Public For First Time

[Mrc]

depends on the thrust from the rotors and power draw + endurance required

True but its not going to b 500 lbs as well... It going to be in few kg range

These are battery powered and u cannot get alot of juice out of them without a huge battery... That will make them alot bigger slow moving targets to gunners at ground.

Still counter measures need to be adopted

making swarm drones is easy

it’s not very easy for the reasons we discussed earlier. See games over simplify the problems. In the following video game clip ( looking for the battlefield clip)

the drones were able to swarm soldiers . In real life all of the swarm would run out of energy after 20 minutes and would then require a recharge of 3 hours.

Imagine a drone that takes off from location near the front line flies to target area and then has to return back to a relatively safe location to charge for 2 hours. All this can not be further than 1-2 kms of the front line. Meaning flight time to op 2-4 minutes . Action time including maneuvers 8-10 minutes return flight 2-4 minutes. Results a few casualties! Now the remaining would either fall into enemy hands or worse yet used by the enemy against own forces.

These drones can penetrate up to 50 km behind enemy lines and create havoc, while drone operators can stay hidden safely.

From afar, they look like a flock of birds. But on closer look, they make a hum that only a machine can make and fly in a neat formation. These are combat drones of the Indian Army that can swarm enemy forces and overwhelm their defences.

Over 15 such swarm drones of the army flew for the first time in public at the Army Day parade in Delhi. These drones can penetrate up to 50 km behind enemy lines and create havoc, while drone operators can stay hidden safely, the presenter at the parade said.

Swarm drones are seen as a potent weapon in future warfare. The US, China, Russia and a few European countries are in the process of developing the first elements of their swarm-drone strike packages.


The government strongly backs the drone development initiative as part of the Make in India programme, which encourages Indian defence manufacturers to focus on core research and development projects towards the next-generation requirements of India's armed forces.

Heard the Indian drones run on 27Mhz frequency.

Those quadcopters don't fall by themselves at LOC. Some EW is also used.

These drones would only be a threat when they have full autonomous target acquisition and guidance ability.

Otherwise this fire power display is no different than those RC planes that PA used in 90s era 6 sep shows (at race course RWP to drop some fireworks).
