In a historic stride towards India’s technological sovereignty and defence self-reliance, IG Drones has been granted the patent for the nation’s first indigenous defence drone simulator—an achievement in India’s march towards Aatmanirbhar Bharat. Unveiled initially by Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the Defence Expo 2022, this simulator is India’s homegrown defence excellence.
Designed, developed, and manufactured entirely on Indian soil, this next-generation simulator offers high-fidelity, realistic training for the Indian Army, Navy, Air Force, and paramilitary forces, empowering our soldiers to master combat drone operations in simulated high-risk environments, including GPS-denied zones and multi-drone missions. Built with state-of-the-art AI, physics-based engines, and real-time terrain dynamics, the simulator eliminates dependence on foreign systems, offering a secure, cost-effective, and fully Indian alternative.
This Defence Drone Simulator can be a strategic force multiplier that strengthens the hands of our warriors and honours the spirit of ‘Jai Jawan, Jai Vigyan’. “This patent is a proud declaration of India’s technological resurgence,” said Bodhisattwa Sanghapriya, Founder & CEO of IG Drones. “Under the visionary leadership of Prime Minister Modi ji, we are building the future of Bharat’s defence. This Made-in-India drone simulator is a salute to our nation’s armed forces, scientists, and innovators.”
With this patent, IG Drones becomes the first Indian company to receive intellectual property rights for a drone simulator platform, a domain previously dominated by foreign entities. The achievement signals India’s growing confidence in designing world-class indigenous defence solutions, perfectly aligned with the Viksit Bharat 2047 mission. Already a trusted partner of the Indian Armed Forces, IG Drones played a critical role in Operation Sindoor, deploying indigenously built VTOL, FPV, and kamikaze drones for strategic surveillance, mapping, and targeted strikes, reinforcing its reputation as a Bharatiya defence tech pioneer.
At a time when the world is watching India’s rise, this patent showcases the power of Indian intellect, Indian industry, and Indian intent. IG Drones is a leading drone technology company specialising in advanced defence and industrial solutions. Driven by innovation, it has established itself as a pioneer in delivering cutting-edge technologies to meet the evolving needs of industries and national defence. Founded by Bodhisattwa and Om Prakash and headquartered in Noida, IG Drones exemplifies industrial leadership in drone technology and innovation in India.
