The Indian Army is collaborating with the private sector to enhance the anti-drone capabilities of its T-90 Bhishma tanks by integrating an autonomous anti- aircraft gun (AAG). This upgrade aims to address vulnerabilities highlighted in modern warfare, allowing for 360-degree detection and engagement of low-speed aerial threats without constant human input. Key innovations include AI algorithms for target recognition and specially designed fragmentation rounds for effective drone neutralization. This development reflects India’s proactive measures in defense modernization, ensuring that the T-90 remains a formidable asset against evolving aerial threats, thereby enhancing operational effectiveness and crew safety.
