Hindustan Aeronautics (HAL), Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) and Dynamatic Technologies (DTL) have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) for marketing, manufacturing and selling Institute of Actuaries of India (IAI)’s unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).
The collaboration will provide excellent opportunity to HAL to expand its product offerings to defence customers, absorb critical technologies and strengthen aerospace ecosystem in the country, especially for UAVs.
Presently, UAVs play a significant role in wars and other tactical missions such as Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR). In coming years Indian Defence Forces are likely to induct a large number of UAVs to meet such requirements.
HAL has the best capability and infrastructure available in India to manufacture world-class and battle-proven UAVs of IAI. IAI as design authority, HAL as Principal Contractor and DTL as Principal Principle Sub-Contractor will complement each other to provide the best-in-class ‘Make-in-India’ UAVs to Indian Defence Forces.
