India’s Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC) and ideaForge Technology Limited are to introduce drone-based intelligence into India’s Emergency Response Support System (ERSS), according to various national media reports.
C-DAC’s ERSS will be integrated with ideaForge’s FLYGHT platform, an on-demand drone network offered through a Drone-as-a-Service model. The FLYGHT platform allows government agencies to use drones without purchasing equipment or running in-house drone operations.
The collaboration also includes joint research and development as well as shared training. For example, C-DAC and ideaForge will examine how the VEGA processor can be incorporated into drone systems, explore VEGA-based system-on-chip designs for flight controllers, and work together on projects involving autonomous swarm drones, AI-enabled analytics, and advanced computing for unmanned systems.
