Science and Technology

With an aim to carry out logistic operations in the Himalayan frontier, the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) has developed an untethered multi-copter payload, an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). The UAV is capable of flying with 5 kg to 25 kg payload and even dropping bombs in enemy territories. The multi-copter was displayed by the DRDO at the 108th Indian Science Congress in Maharashtra’s Nagpur. Successful trials of the multi-copter were conducted at Sikkim at an altitude of 14,000 ft.
