Need to up the platforms from hexacopters to something similar to US military's LOCUST or Perdix swarm drones.
Sorry for the small size image. @porky_kicker posted it couple of pages back.

Can this drone be launched from a truck launcher?
How far has this program come? Will it be tested soon? What about HAL's unmanned wingman?
I think their prototype is ready for demonstration.Zmotion startup was the winner of idex competition and AFAIK was selected by IAF to develop autonomous drone systems .
Some requirements of the multi drone launch system :
1. Modular payload avionics warhead
2. Vehicle mounted multi system launch
3. Ability to search and destroy radar emitters
4. Reusable
5. Low RCS
6. 50 km range
7. Autonomous operation
8. Multiband communication detection and localisation
Etc

Both techniques can be used in conjunction. Looking at Ghatak's design, it will most likely have a 1D fluidic TVC about the yaw axis. That is required due to lack of rudder in Ghatak. The Pitch and Roll axes control will be done using traditional control surfaces.Bro it is being claimed that ghatak ucav will have fluidic thrust vectoring but how is this possible since ghatak is having flight control surfaces afaik fluidic thrust vectoring eliminates the need of flight control surfaces.
It means that extensive research have to be carried to incorporate it in fighter jet. Well it's a good sign afaik no flying wing aircraft in this world have such TVC.Both techniques can be used in conjunction.

No idea bro, beyond my knowledge baseBro it is being claimed that ghatak ucav will have fluidic thrust vectoring but how is this possible since ghatak is having flight control surfaces afaik fluidic thrust vectoring eliminates the need of flight control surfaces. @porky_kicker
Yes ! It becomes an MIRV when intercepted by Indian Air Defence. It gets smoked to smithereens and thus falls into the ocean as Multiple Independent Re-Entry Vehicles.Is porkis missile ababeel is MIRV capable?
As of now, NO.Can this drone be launched from a truck launcher?
This program has moved a long way from being concept to a scale model with many subsystems tested. In another 2 years time we should be able to see a working prototype as far as what is available in open media.How far has this program come? Will it be tested soon? What about HAL's unmanned wingman?
As far as I know, these are not ground launched drones, but same air launched variant.Then there is aircraft delivered AlphaS swarming drone from
Newspace
Large numbers of these can be carried in carrier pods underslung from fighter aircrafts.

This is another drone from NewSpace , it requires a runway for launch. This should also be capable of swarm mode.
This is the best thing I read today!Yes ! It becomes an MIRV when intercepted by Indian Air Defence. It gets smoked to smithereens and thus falls into the ocean as Multiple Independent Re-Entry Vehicles.
