With a focus on the future of modern warfare, Paras Aerospace showcased its indigenously designed and developed Archer-B8 attack drone (UCAV), which can be used for attack operations during DefExpo in Gandhinagar, Gujarat.

According to the company, it can carry 8-mortar bomb ammunition and drop in a single sortie at the identified marked location. Also, dropping payload ammunition can be done by controlling munition-dropping manually or autonomously at predefined marked positions.

By providing a tactical advantage to frontline soldiers in combat operations, Archer-B8 attack drones can identify, track and attack the enemy positions. Thus, helping in minimizing battlefield casualties while providing strategic combat advantage, the company said in a statement.

Archer-B8 is a definite advantage for the armed forces and homeland security agencies for surveillance and security operations. If a soldier being assisted with Archer-B8 that can monitor remotely the enemy position and even attack those without becoming prone to enemy’s weapon fire.”
