HAL looks to the future with unmanned drones

Imagine a future Balakot-type airstrike. Instead of exposing the ageing MiG-21s to enemy fire, the Indian Air Force (IAF) could instead deploy a handful of Tejas fighters backed by a swarm of AI-powered unmanned drones to strike the target. This concept was first mooted by a veteran HAL test pilot in Bengaluru in 2018 to save aircraft and pilot lives in a future war. Over the next two years, with Rs 400-crore funding, HAL developed the Combat Air Teams System (CATS), which has now aroused the interest of the IAF.
