The famous educational institute, MIT or Madras Institute of Technology in Chennai would be associating with the Indian Army. The news that has come out now is that around 500 drones that were assembled with the help of MIT based technology would be pressed into logistics duty by the Indian Army in places like NE and high altitude landscapes etc. Point is that these drones might replace even mules and even helicopters etc
It is noteworthy that last Friday, Union home minister Mr. Amit Shah appreciated the project team and spoke about how these drones would be used to supply medicines and other essential items to remote BOP or border observation posts. Addressing gaps in security in difficult terrain would be possible now with these drones. It is sensational to note that the drones could fly through fog, rain, and through gusty winds etc.
With the help of guided navigational pathway, the drones could be navigated through 20km to and fro at an altitude of 1km. The research team fixed the guided navigation using a global positioning system or GPS.
According to the director of Kalam Advanced Drone Research centre, Anna University, Mr. Senthil Kumar it was clear that the drones weighing 100kg would be able to carry atleast 15kg to 20kg of medicines, foods, provisions, oil etc from one altitude to another altitude. Proximity sensors would be used to land the drones safely. After the arming switch gets activated, these drones would fly once again. It is learnt that MIT Professors Senthil Kumar and Tamizh Selvi have got Indian patent for timer based switch.
Tests and trial runs have been conducted by the researchers belonging to Kalam Advanced Drone Research Centre, AU in Chennai with drones in places like Ladakh, Leh, dense jungles etc. Point is that after the success of all the tests and trials etc , drones were inducted into the Indian army officially now. Soon, the researchers would be transporting human organs, rare blood or plasma from important hospitals with the help of the same technology.
