Drones In Defence: Drones are changing the way wars are fought by offering low-cost but highly effective solutions, said Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) General Anil Chauhan. He was speaking at a seminar organized by the Centre for Joint Warfare Studies (CENJOWS) on the topic of drone warfare and how to counter drone threats.
According to The Week, General Chauhan explained that drones, also called Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS), are becoming a powerful tool in modern battles. They use speed, advanced robotics, and artificial intelligence (AI) to create a big impact on the battlefield. “Drones are a disruptive force in warfare,” he said.
