Headline: Game Changer for Indian Army: Bengaluru Start-up NRT Bags ₹168 Cr Deal for Solar-Powered High-Altitude Drones!

In a landmark move that signifies a shift away from traditional battery and fuel-based surveillance, the Indian Army has signed a ₹168 crore contract with Bengaluru-based NewSpace Research and Technologies (NRT). This deal is for the procurement of the cutting-edge MAPSS (Mission Application High-Altitude Platform for Surveillance and Sustained Operations) solar-powered UAVs.

🔥 Key Highlights of India's Solar Drone Revolution:

Perpetual Flight: Unlike conventional drones, MAPSS uses solar power to fly during the day and stored energy at night, offering near-continuous surveillance like a satellite ("HAPS" - High-Altitude Pseudo Satellite).

Record-Breaking Performance: NRT's prototype has already demonstrated a flight time of over 27 hours at an altitude of 26,000 feet.

Strategic Advantage against China & Pakistan: Ideal for the harsh, high-altitude terrains of Ladakh and Arunachal Pradesh, where it will act as an unblinking "digital eye" along the LAC and LoC.

Stealth & Resilience: Its quiet operation, low heat signature, and ability to function in GPS-denied environments make it a formidable asset against enemy radars and jamming.

Beyond Surveillance: Capable of ELINT (Electronic Intelligence) and acting as a mobile communication relay during critical operations.

Indigenous Innovation: A success story of the Defence Ministry's iDEX initiative, showcasing India's ability to develop world-class defense technology domestically.

Watch to understand how this "Green Defense" technology will revolutionize India's border security and military operations.
