Kadet Defence Systems demonstrated a successful development of Loitering Aerial Munitions (LAM) under Development cum Production Partner (DCPP) model with the Defence Research Development Organisation (DRDO).
The LAM Systems encompass a diverse array of cutting-edge technologies, including Canister Aerial Loitering Munition (CALM), Combat UAVs with stand-off capabilities for munition release, Tactical VTOL UAVs and a versatile mix of systems capable of swarming and manned-unmanned teaming operations.
Kadet also signed a contract for the delivery of over 50 systems by year-end, fulfilling the Indian armed forces' operational requirements for the near future.
According to the company, LAMs can adapt to various terrains, including deserts, plains and high-altitude environments, with a launch altitude capability exceeding 5,000 metre.
The company claims that these systems are entirely indigenous, designed, developed and manufactured in India, with over 90 per cent of components sourced domestically.
Avdhesh Khaitan, Co-founder and CEO of Kadet Defence Systems said, "The soaring demand for LAMs underscores their critical importance not only to our armed forces but also with India's foreign-friendly countries. Kadet is committed to meeting this demand by scaling up production to deliver an estimated five thousand systems within the next 2-3 years."
