IG Drones Secures India’s First Patent for Defence Drone Simulator

IG Drones has been granted the patent for the nation’s first indigenous defence drone simulator. Designed, developed, and manufactured entirely on Indian soil, this next-generation simulator provides high-fidelity, realistic training for the Indian Army, Navy, Air Force, and paramilitary forces—empowering our soldiers to master combat drone operations in simulated high-risk environments, including GPS-denied zones and multi-drone missions.

Built with state-of-the-art AI, physics-based engines, and real-time terrain dynamics, the simulator eliminates dependence on foreign systems, offering a secure, cost-effective, and fully Indian alternative. This isn’t just a product—it is a strategic force multiplier that strengthens the hands of our warriors and honours the spirit of ‘Jai Jawan, Jai Vigyan’.

“This patent is a proud declaration of India’s technological resurgence,” said founder & CEO of IG Drones, Bodhisattwa Sanghapriya. “Under the visionary leadership of Prime Minister Modi, we are not just building products—we are building the future of Bharat’s defence. This Made-in-India drone simulator is a salute to our nation’s armed forces, scientists, and innovators.”

With this patent, IG Drones becomes the first Indian company to receive intellectual property rights for a drone simulator platform—a domain previously dominated by foreign entities. Already a trusted partner of the Indian armed forces, IG Drones played a critical role in Operation Sindoor, deploying indigenously built VTOL, FPV, and kamikaze drones for strategic surveillance, mapping, and targeted strikes.
