The Army’s ‘Agnibaan’ drone-fuze breakthrough
- Purpose: Converts dumb rockets and artillery-type ammunition into smart, drone-deployable payloads, reducing reliance on imports and enhancing lethality.
- Features:
- Integrated into the drone’s flight controller for resistance to enemy electronic warfare jamming.
- Two operating modes: air burst (for troops in open) and impact mode.
- Benefits: Improves soldier safety and flexibility, reduces costs and inventory requirements, and can adapt various conventional ammunitions (e.g., mortar rounds) into drone payloads.
