Indian Army Initiates Procurement of Target Systems to Enhance Air Defence Training
The Indian Army is enhancing its air defence training by acquiring three target systems simulating drone swarms, helicopters, and missile-like threats. This follows recent emergency procurements of drones and air defence missiles to address capability gaps. The new systems—Intermediate Target System (Rocket), Basic Target System (Swarm Drones), and Basic Target System (Multirotor Copter)—aim to prepare troops for evolving aerial threats including unmanned systems and cruise missiles, reflecting a shift toward modern warfare readiness.
