Study estimates count of UAVs required for the three Services

The Chief of Defence Staff Gen Anil Chauhan recently ordered two studies to be conducted on major military platforms used by all three services. The study on UAVs has since been completed with a recommendation to acquire 31 MQ-9B High Altitude Long Endurance UAVs and 155 Medium Altitude Long Endurance UAVs. While the deal for MQ-9Bs is in progress, the division of the 155 MALE UAVs between the three services is yet to be decided,” the second source stated. In June, the Defence Ministry cleared the procurement of 31 MQ-9B UAVs from General Atomics, 15 Sea Guardians for the Indian Navy and 16 Sky Guardians – eight each for the Indian Army and Air Force, at an estimated cost of $3,072 million though the US Foreign Military Sales route.
