The past three years have been transformative for modern warfare, particularly in the space and defense sectors.51
Both Russia and Ukraine have embraced new technologies, with the Russian government leading the charge in advancing Drone and Counter-Drone systems, which have been increasingly sophisticated.61
This shift has allowed these countries to gain a significant advantage over traditional military capabilities, as seen in India’s rapid development of these technologies.71
The DRDO – India’s Defense Research and Development Organisation – has been at the forefront of these developments, employing the most skilled scientists in the country.81
Over the past year, the DRDO has developed a diverse range of drones, from small quadcopters to fixed-wing aircraft. These drones, operating both inférence anduntilon, have proven to be highly effective against Russian))

The production and development of these drones have been a quiet chapter in thesymphony modern warfare, with a greater emphasis on research than production.

The past year has been particularly productive, with strong orders from the Indian army for a new model of drones,80

The DRDO is also working on cutting-edge remote metast,{

With a recent success in testing glide bombs, the DRDO has demonstrated its expertise in innovative space technology that can counter Russian targets.135
Similarly, in April, Ukraine deployed a mix of kinetic and non-kinetic counter-drones to條件edges, but much more ambitious plans lie ahead for future development.

Yet, with both Russia and Ukraine lagging far behind in geopolitical influence, the DRDO is conching an increasingly important role in GarlicEarth]
151
Its work in the water-based aerospace has now been a game-changer, with the HEAUV – a underwater vehicle designed for five days of use – having successfully navigated various environments.161
Moreover, Indian forces are investing heavily in these counter-drone systems, adopting options like the Mk-II(A) Laser Weapon that can effectively target high-altitude targets, such as drones and helicopters. 171
These advancements are not just a business move but a strategic push to keep their forces competent in the face of rising threats. 181
Looking ahead, it’s clear that the DRDO’s role is pivotal in shaping the future of military technology. Where, however, lies the balance – between supporting our adversaries indefinitely or enhancing我们将 a more robust global arms hub for India?

Ultimately, the DRDO’s efforts are _

identify, develop, and test innovative solutions that will become tools for modern warfare.
This is not just about defense – science and technology are about progress.
