AI-powered Gati drone: Indian Army Inducts Gati Drone for Precision Grenade Strikes

India’s AI-powered Gati drone, designed by Keshavkant Sharma, can drop grenades with precision and return safely. The Army has placed its first order. Keshav’s Gati drone will return safely after throwing grenades at enemy targets. The Indian Army has given an order to buy it. In the age of Artificial Intelligence, the way of fighting wars has changed rapidly. After Operation Sindoor, Ahmedabad engineer Keshavkant Sharma decided to make a drone that could open the pin of the grenade and return safely after throwing it at the enemy.

The drone named Gati, made by Keshav, can go up to a distance of about seven and a half kilometers and throw two grenades weighing two and a half kilograms from a height of 500 meters. After testing the drone, the Indian Army has decided to include it in its arsenal.

Specialty of Gati drone

The specialty of the Gati drone is that it can be operated through a computer and remote control and can attack a fixed target. After doing engineering in Electronics and Communication from Nirma University, Keshavkant Sharma started Prothapan Technology Pvt. Ltd. He formed a company called ‘Gati’, in which he included five other students of engineering, AI, and other fields, and started working on the use of drones in air strikes.

During the recent war between India and Pakistan, Pakistan used Turkish Chinese-made drones against India; however, India’s defense system completely foiled their attacks.

AI-powered Gati drone: It is completely based on AI.

During this time, after about a month of hard work, Keshavkant created a drone called Gati, which is completely based on Artificial Intelligence (AI) and can fly with the same technology as a helicopter and attack the enemy by opening the pin of a hand grenade. Keshavkant was associated with the National Cadet Corps for about three years. After doing engineering, he started working in this field.

Keshavkant is originally from Patna, but he was born in Ahmedabad. His father, Anil Kumar, was a mechanical engineer in ONGC. He has also worked with many multi-national companies.

Army placed an order to buy a drone

It can carry two grenades weighing 1.5 to 2 kg and throw them from a height of 500 meters up to 7.5 km. The army felt the lack of such technology in Operation Sindoor; the Gati drone will be able to fulfill it to a great extent.

Keshav says that in the future, drones with a capacity of four and six grenades will also be made. He demonstrated this innovation in front of the Indian Army in Pokhran, Rajasthan, and Maharashtra, after which the army also placed an order for this drone. The army will take 20 drones in the first consignment. By August, these drones will join the army fleet. This drone can also easily transport mortars, grenades, and other explosive devices.
