Garuda Aerospace partners with Lockheed Martin for new drone deal

Enabling connectivity in semi-urban and rural areas is one of the key applications that Garuda plans to launch through this partnership

Chennai-based Garuda Aerospace has signed a deal with Lockheed Martin Canada CDL Systems to integrate its locally made drones with Canada bases company’s advanced Uncrewed Aerial Systems (UAS) software solutions, reported The Economic Times. 

As part of the partnership, the companies will closely work to investigate prospects to create drone-based service applications in industries like industrial inspection, mining, large-scale mapping, agriculture and defence.

Vehicles that can carry out data-collection missions without a human on board are referred to as “Uncrewed Systems”. These vehicles can be aerial, terrestrial, or marine. They may also include related components like sensors and communications software.
