Indian Army DG EME reviews tech innovations, operational readiness in Rajasthan's desert
Who said the desert was just for sand dunes and ancient tales? Apparently, it's also the new Silicon Valley for military tech! While most of us are still trying to get our smart devices to connect in rural areas, the Indian Army's EME units are out there in Rajasthan, literally printing their own future with additive manufacturing and flying drones. It seems even the harsh desert landscape can't deter a good old 'make in India' spirit when it comes to military self-reliance.
Lt Gen Rajiv K. Sahni, the Director General of EME, recently visited the desert sector of Rajasthan to assess the technical and operational readiness of these forward-thinking units. His review specifically highlighted their impressive indigenous capabilities, particularly in developing Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) and Counter-UAS (CUAS) technologies. The General also lauded their innovative adoption of additive manufacturing, underscoring a strategic shift towards self-sufficiency and cutting-edge solutions for modern warfare.
