As drone warfare evolves, army air defence seeks to strengthen new types of aerial targets

India’s Army Air Defence is enhancing its training with three new aerial target systems to counter evolving drone threats. These include rocket-propelled targets for high-speed missile simulation, swarm drone replicators for multi-target engagement, and multirotor copters mimicking slow-moving helicopters. This procurement aims to bolster preparedness against a wide array of modern aerial adversaries.
