Eyes in the sky: DRDO's Bharat drones to boost army's surveillance missions over Chinese activities along LAC
FirstpostThe drone ‘Bharat’ also provides real-time video transmission during the mission and can detect humans hidden under deep forest covers. The Defence Research and Development Organisation has provided indigenously-developed drones called ‘Bharat’ to the Indian Army amid the ongoing boundary tensions at LAC between India and China. With transgression by the Chinese troops along the LAC as the major challenge, the drone also provides real-time video transmission during the mission and can detect humans hidden under deep forest covers. Bharat has been designed entirely by DRDO’s Terminal Ballistics Research Laboratory, which is involved in development, production, processing and characterisation of different high-explosive compositions, fragmentation studies of warheads, captive flight testing of bombs, missiles and airborne systems and ballistics evaluation of protective systems like body armour, vehicle armour and helmets.
