Abstract

In August 2021, Union minister for Civil Aviation Shri Jyotiraditya Scindia stated that the aim of the government was to make India a global drone hub by 2030.  Towards this, the government has taken steps to promote Unmanned Aerial systems (UAS) and UAS components in India. With advancements in technology, reducing cost and greater commercial availability, the applications of UAS have increased exponentially; more so in the non-military domain. Easy availability of UAS for anti-national elements, however, has been one of the reasons for the development of Counter-UAS (CUAS)
