Anadrone Systems Limited and Kratos Defense & Security Solutions, Inc. announced a strategic agreement to jointly pursue opportunities in India’s rapidly expanding unmanned and autonomous systems market. The agreement was signed in New Delhi on June 22, 2026, during Eurosatory 2026, establishing a framework for long-term cooperation aimed at addressing the evolving requirements of the Indian Armed Forces and national security agencies.
The collaboration brings together Kratos’ globally proven expertise in tactical unmanned aerial systems, aerial target platforms, and autonomous technologies with Anadrone’s capabilities in indigenous development, manufacturing, integration, and operational support within India.
“India’s defence ecosystem is witnessing a fundamental shift towards indigenous development of advanced technologies. Through this strategic agreement, we are bringing together global expertise and local execution capabilities to explore next-generation unmanned systems for India. Drawing on over two decades of experience in the defence sector and our work across unmanned systems, we have developed a strong understanding of the evolving requirements of India’s defence and security ecosystem. We see significant opportunities to contribute to the country’s defence modernization priorities while strengthening indigenous capability development under the Atmanirbhar Bharat vision,” said Anant Bhalotia, Founder & CEO, Anadrone Systems Private Limited.
Under the agreement, both companies will explore opportunities across a wide portfolio of unmanned solutions, including aerial target systems, tactical unmanned aircraft, autonomous mission systems, and future defence technologies. The partnership is also aligned with India’s defence modernisation goals and the Atmanirbhar Bharat initiative, focusing on progressive localisation and long-term industrial cooperation.
India continues to emerge as one of the fastest-growing markets for advanced unmanned systems. Through this collaboration, Anadrone and Kratos aim to combine global innovation with local execution to deliver mission-ready capabilities while strengthening the country’s indigenous defence ecosystem.
The agreement is expected to serve as a foundation for future growth, technology collaboration, and expanded opportunities in support of India’s defence and security requirements, with further details to be announced as the partnership evolves.
