The drone&#8217;s amazing performance propelled ideaForge to prominence as India&#8217;s leading drone manufacturer. It has won the prestigious project on the back of its designing the world&#8217;s smallest and lightest autopilot, as well as the first drone in the country.

Its drones are often and extensively used by the CRPF in anti-Naxalite operations. The&nbsp;drones are used by the ITBP and the BSF for border security, ISR missions, and high-altitude patrols.

The company&#8217;s drone technologies have been used by several police agencies to ensure that social distancing guidelines are strictly followed. In order to contain the spread of the virus, Mumbai Police deployed drones to ensure thorough monitoring of lockdown areas such as the Dharavi slums. The Mumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) utilised drones to provide live monitoring of hotspots by streaming drone footage straight to a command-and-control centre. For night monitoring, Delhi police deployed thermal imaging payloads to identify lockdown offenders.
