VTOL Rudrastra Drone: Takes off like a copter, strikes like a jet - The Economic Times Video
The Indian Army has successfully tested Rudrastra, a fully indigenous VTOL (Vertical Take-Off and Landing) drone designed for precision strikes deep inside enemy territory. Developed by Solar Aerospace and Defence Limited, Rudrastra can take off like a helicopter, fly like a jet, and hit targets more than 50 kilometers away.In its Pokhran trials, Rudrastra flew over 170 km, remained airborne for 90 minutes, dropped an airburst munition, and returned safely, all without any human intervention. The drone's smart warhead and autonomous targeting system make it ideal for striking camps, artillery units, and terror hideouts across the border.

Major progress in developing indigenous post-quantum tools: Indian Army
The Indian Army on Friday said it has taken a "significant leap" in harnessing quantum technologies with the development of indigenous post-quantum cryptography applications, a move that aims to bolster its capabilities across domains and to ensure the force remains future ready in "ever-evolving technological landscape". In a post on X, ADG PI - Indian Army also shared some photos along with a caption titled - "Enabling the Battlefield of Tomorrow with Quantum Tech". The Indian Army had declared 2024 as the 'Year of Technology Absorption' and is undertaking various initiatives to induct niche technology and systems into its inventory. "The Indian Army takes a significant leap in harnessing Quantum Technologies with the development of indigenous Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) applications," it posted. These applications have been developed by the Military College of Telecommunication Engineering (MCTE), Mhow, under the aegis of the Corps of Signals and in alignment with the technology research vision of the Chief of the Army Staff, the post read. "Post-Quantum Cryptography based solutions are being progressively integrated across Army networks - strengthening capabilities across domains and ensuring Indian Army remains future ready in ever evolving technological landscape. #Atmanirbharta #YearofTechAbsorption #DecadeofTransformation @DefenceMinIndia @SpokespersonMoD @HQ_IDS_India," it posted.
