Electronics and telecom manufacturing company, Optiemus Infracom has announced its foray into Unmanned Systems with the launch of new drones that have been designed and manufactured in India. The company showcased its diverse range of drones at the India Mobile Congress 2023. The products showcased by Optiemus Infracom are equipped with cutting-edge technology, including advanced sensors, secure communication systems, and strict safety protocols.
Optiemus Infracom will be investing Rs 250 million in Optiemus Unmanned Systems (OUS) – a new division of the company. The company will be involved in the research, development, and manufacturing of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).
The company’s latest initiative stands in line with the government’s "Make in India" initiative as well as the Atmanirbhar Bharat programme of PM Narendra Modi. These campaigns aim at creating indigenous products, designed and manufactured in India.
OUS will build on its experience and expertise in designing and manufacturing state-of-the-art drones, that would cater to a wide range of applications. This includes defence, healthcare, agriculture, logistics, mining, railways as well as oil and gas. Application areas for drones will also cover asset management, disaster management, delivery, mapping and survey, as well as precision agriculture.
To achieve up to 65% indigenisation within a year of launch, OUS aims to make its products export-ready, expand offerings in smarter payloads and enhance product autonomy with a broader range of unmanned vehicles for various terrains.
