In the aftermath of the country’s first-ever drone terror strike on the Jammu air force station on June 27, the IAF now wants to acquire ten counter-unmanned aircraft systems (CUAS).
The Indian Air Force (IAF) issued a request for information (RFI) to seek responses from Indian companies for the counter-drone systems called CUAS, a day after the Jammu attack, which revealed operational deficiencies in dealing with small commercially-accessible drones packed with explosives, the
Times of India has reported.
Two explosives-laden drones earlier dropped payload into the Indian Air Force station at Jammu airport and went back. There were other suspicious sightings of UAVs too, triggering a security alert.
