IG Drones Working On Project KAL An Indigenous Long-Range Kamikaze Drone
Project KAL is an indigenous long-range Kamikaze drone developed by
Noida-based IG Defence, designed for deep-penetration one-way strike missions.
It draws inspiration from Iran's Shahed-136, aiming to provide India with
affordable, swarm-capable unmanned strike capabilities.
Key specifications include a projected operational range of up to 1,000 km,
enabling strikes far beyond frontline areas. Endurance is estimated at 3-5
hours, allowing loitering over targets for real-time assessment and path
adjustments before impact.
The drone carries a high-explosive payload suitable for precision strikes on
high-value assets such as radar installations, logistics hubs, factories, and
strategic military infrastructure. This configuration supports saturation
attacks to overwhelm enemy air defences economically.
It features autonomous navigation for contested environments, with
capabilities for target observation and trajectory modifications. Launch is
versatile, potentially from highways or mobile platforms, enhancing
deployability in diverse terrains.
Currently in early development stages, Project KAL aligns with India's
Atmanirbhar Bharat initiative for self-reliant defence tech. Prototypes are
undergoing initial testing, with full details expected in coming months as the
programme advances.
