NASSCOM Opposes New Drone Bill, Calls for Stronger Enforcement Under Existing Rules
The National Association of Software and Service Companies has questioned the requirement in the government’s proposed Civil Drone B
India is taking drone warfare to the next level with mobile drone factories that can print, build and launch drones wherever the mission demands.
The initiative comes from Zuppa and Divide By Zero Technologies (DBZ), teamed up to create containerized fabrication units capable of producing drones on the spot. These compact, deployable drone labs slash drone production time from weeks to just hours.
By moving manufacturing to the field, the idea also aims to decrease reliance on central amenities and lengthy logistics, improving response speed throughout both combat and disaster operations.
“This collaboration is a major step in the direction of Atmanirbhar Bharat in frontline technology,” said Venkatesh Sai, Zuppa co-founder and technical director.
“By allowing rapid, on-demand drone manufacturing right at the field, we are giving defence forces unparalleled autonomy and adaptability.”
Factory on the Frontline
The Rapid Fabrication Container Unit merges DBZ’s industrial-grade 3D printing expertise with Zuppa’s AI-enabled drone systems and mission software.
Together, they form a moveable production hub that can function in isolated or risky areas.
The setup supports three core tasks: field-based drone creation for tactical, surveillance and logistics roles, repair or modification of present drones, and instantaneous deployment through Zuppa’s autonomous flight network.
“Our partnership with Zuppa alters mobile, autonomous manufacturing into reality, bringing production competence directly to the battlefield,” added Swapnil Sansare, founder and CEO of DBZ.
