The Indian Army has again signed a contract with ideaForge to acquire an undisclosed number of a high-altitude variant of SWITCH 1.0 unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to strengthen its surveillance along the LAC, army officials said.
The Indian Army had in January 2021 signed the previous contract with the Mumbai-based firm to supply SWITCH 1.0 drones for around USD 20 million.
On Monday, in a statement, ideaForge said that it has fulfilled the January 2021 contract by delivering the specified number of SWITCH 1.0 drones to the Indian Army within the slated time limit.
SWITCH 1.0 UAV is a fixed-wing drone that is capable of vertical takeoff and landing and it can be deployed at high altitude and harsh environments for day-and-night surveillance.
