Adani Group formally opened a $15-million unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) complex in Hyderabad in association with Israeli partner Elbit Systems.

About:

  • The 50,000 sq. ft. UAV complex is the first such manufacturing facility in India and the first outside Israel to manufacture the Hermes 900 medium altitude long endurance UAV.

  • The first aero-structure from the complex will be rolled out in March 2019.

  • Plans:
    • While the initial focus would be on exports, the objective of the 51:49 joint venture (JV) between Adani Defence and Aerospace and Elbit Systems is to become UAV supplier to the Indian armed forces.

    • The facility would begin operations by manufacturing complete carbon composite aero-structures for the Hermes 900 UAV of Elbit Systems used by customers in several countries. This would be followed by the manufacture of aero-structures for Hermes 450.
