Military advantage increasingly depends on how quickly countries can turn emerging technologies into dependable operational capabilities and on their ability to adapt and sustain those capabilities over time. At #RaisinaMiddleEast in Abu Dhabi, our CEO and Co-founder, @ankit_ideaForge, contributed to the #DeepTech Network session, “The New Defence Equation: Innovation, Deterrence, and Technological Sovereignty.” Convened by @orfonline and @orfmiddleeast, the session featured a spotlight address by H.E. Omran Sharaf (@OmranSharaf), Assistant Foreign Minister for Advanced Science and Technology, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, United Arab Emirates. @Rudra_81 delivered the introductory remarks, and @RLuthra chaired the discussion. Ankit joined contributors from government, defence, industry and investment to examine how autonomous systems, AI, and space-based intelligence are reshaping strategic capabilities. The discussion explored the procurement, financing and civil-military collaboration needed to bring these technologies into operational use at speed and scale. It also examined emerging dependencies across software, semiconductors, data, and supply chains, and how trusted international partnerships can support capability development while preserving long-term technological sovereignty. @raisinadialogue, @samirsaran, @MEAIndia, @mofauae #DefenceInnovation #DeepTech #TechnologicalSovereignty

Understanding how aerial data fits into everyday #GIS and #mapping work starts with bringing technology teams and users together. At our recent ConnectXchange workshop at Greater Cochin Development Authority (GCDA), Kochi, we brought participants together to explore the role of #UAV technology in GIS and mapping, connecting #aerialdata capabilities with practical geospatial needs. We were also pleased to welcome a representative from the Indian Coast Guard to the workshop. Thank you to #GCDA and everyone who joined us. Exchanges like these help us better understand user requirements and build stronger connections between technology and its application on the ground. Note: ConnectXchange is our flagship engagement initiative where users and decision-makers can explore UAV capabilities and discuss their operational requirements with our team.

Monitoring #pipeline Right-of-Way (RoW) corridors across difficult terrain requires timely visibility into #encroachments, #UnauthorisedActivity and #PotentialHazards that conventional ground patrols may not detect quickly enough. For a leading Indian energy company, our #Q6V2 UAV enabled day-and-night #AerialSurveillance, #AI-assisted event detection and real-time monitoring of pipeline corridors. The deployment reduced surveillance lead time by over 90% and enabled teams to access live aerial footage within 10 minutes of an alert, helping them detect anomalies, track changes along the corridor and coordinate field responses with real-time visual evidence. Discover how #drone-based surveillance is enabling faster, more informed #PipelineSecurity and Right-of-Way monitoring.

Reducing disaster risk requires early detection and reliable information to guide response and recovery. On the #InternationalDayforDisasterRiskReduction, we share how our UAVs have supported authorities and response teams on the ground. #DRRDay

Monitoring borders, forward areas, and movement corridors requires sustained observation, with timely intelligence to support operational decisions. #ZOLT, our multi-role tactical UAV, supports persistent #ISTAR (Intelligence, Surveillance, Target Acquisition and Reconnaissance) across demanding tactical environments. Its configurable daylight and thermal payloads support day and night missions, from border #surveillance and #reconnaissance to target acquisition, artillery fire support, and post-mission assessment. Supporting these missions is our indigenous, EW-resilient architecture, which combines Anti-Jam Communications, GNSS-denied navigation, and Onboard Intelligence to maintain mission continuity in contested environments.

Moving critical supplies across remote, high-altitude terrain is a demanding logistics challenge. With #YETI, we are developing heavy-lift, #LongRange autonomous aerial capabilities to address this need. We have signed a debt financing agreement with the Technology Development Board (@tdbgoi), under the Department of Science & Technology, Government of India, to support YETI’s research and development through the Research, Development and Innovation (#RDI) Scheme. This government support strengthens our long-term technology roadmap as we advance indigenous autonomous systems for demanding logistics missions. @IndiaDST @DrJitendraSingh @GoI_MeitY @Joee_vipul @ankit_ideaForge Read more: cnbctv18.com/market/stocks/i… #ideaForge #AerialLogistics #AutonomousSystems

ZOLT Hybrid & ZOLT UCAV From persistent ISTAR to precision effects, #ZOLT is expanding into a broader #tactical mission space. The two configurations address distinct operational requirements - from longer-range #surveillance and persistent overwatch to #combat-oriented missions - while sharing a common #indigenous Electronic Warfare-resilient architecture designed for contested environments.

As #AI becomes part of vehicles, robots and autonomous systems, its value will depend on how reliably it performs in the environments where people use it. Moving from a working prototype to dependable deployment requires engineering that accounts for imperfect data, hardware constraints, limited connectivity and changing operating conditions. At #WalmartConverge2026, our Co-founder and CEO, @ankit_ideaForge, joined the panel “Beyond the Screen: Intelligence in the Physical World,” alongside Prof. Suresh Sundaram (Indian Institute of Science) and Sangeeth S. Nambiar (Bosch). Moderated by Rao Grandhi (Walmart), the discussion explored the requirements for building and deploying #PhysicalAI systems that people can trust. At ideaForge, these questions are central to building #AutonomousAerialSystems around the needs and constraints of a mission. Perception and decision-making must work alongside timely responses, safe recovery and human oversight to deliver dependable capability in the field. #AutonomousSystems #ideaForge

#MissionStories | VS Safety Enterprise Mapping across challenging terrain can introduce complexities that directly affect data quality. For Swati Sharma, Managing Director, VS Safety Enterprise, working with ideaForge went beyond deploying a #UAV. When her team encountered data distortion during mapping, our team worked alongside them to identify and resolve the issue, supporting accurate data capture across the project. Using our Q6 UAV, the team has successfully mapped around 350 sq. km. Hear from Swati as she shares her experience of using the Q6 for mapping operations and working with the ideaForge team.

#ideaForgeLabs | Project ALE: Tactical Deployment, Phase 2 #ZOLT carries and deploys an Air-Launched Effector equipped with a #tactical payload. Following airborne release, the effector stabilises, transitions to independent flight and proceeds towards a designated target. The tactical relevance lies in how different autonomous systems can take on different roles across the same mission, extending reach, distributing capability and carrying the mission forward towards the point of effect. It is an architecture that can enable more distributed operations, #CollaborativeAutonomy and greater flexibility across the #KillChain.

How many #compliance gaps and #security blind spots exist in your facility right now, undetected? At a global confectionery manufacturer, #FLYGHTEnterprise, our Drone-as-a-Service solution powered by the #Q6UAV ran real-time #AerialSurveillance across the site. The results surfaced 50+ compliance issues, 10+ security concerns, and multiple safety, vehicle and asset risks, giving the facility a layer of aerial visibility that complemented the checks already happening on the ground. With FLYGHT Enterprise, organisations gain this kind of continuous aerial visibility without any capital investment or the need to build an in-house drone team.
