PROJECT TAWANG

Proven Where It Counts Most

High-altitude performance isn't a claim for Vayudh. It's a tested fact. Project Tawang put our surveillance drone through extreme weather and tough terrain, at altitudes where most systems fail, our system held. Stability, communication, and payload performance stayed fully operational. If it works in Tawang, it works anywhere.

SWARM TECHNOLOGY

India's First Tactical Drone Swarm

At Army Day 2019, Vayudh flew a coordinated 10-drone swarm at Manekshaw Centre under ARTECH. Forty-five minutes of cohesive flight under one command structure. Real tactical synergy, demonstrated drone swarm technology live in front of India's defence leadership.

iDEX Winner

Selected by India's Defence Innovation Organisation

iDEX Grant Award | Vayudh

In 2023, Vayudh won the iDEX Challenge to build India's smallest surveillance drone for specialised units in high-intensity environments. In 2025, ATRI was launched: a sub-250g disposable drone with day-and-night ISR, AES-256 encryption, and a 2km range. Built in India. For India's defence forces.

OUR PRODUCT

Disposable Lightweight

Nano Drone

ATRI

India's first nano drone designed for precision surveillance and reconnaissance operations. These compact yet powerful systems can be deployed swiftly to scan and secure potential infiltration and exfiltration routes for defense forces. 

    • Sub 250g with 2km Range

    • Battle Damage Assessment

    • Increased Situational Awareness

    • Operate as a Standalone System

    • Route & Point Reconnaissance

    • Pre-Deployment Reconnaissance

COMPLETE SYSTEM

FUTURE POSSIBILITIES

The roadmap from reconnaissance to coordinated, scalable autonomous operations.

Tube Launch:

Rapid deployment from enclosed or vehicle-mounted systems. Zero setup time.

Swarm Application:

Coordinated multi-drone operations for surveillance, target acquisition, and force multiplication.
