The Indian Vice President, C.P. Radhakrishnan, has revealed the drone designed precisely for Drone Aided Elephant Darting by Garuda Aerospace, marking a substantial achievement in the use of ‘Made in India’ drones in wildlife conservation and human-wildlife conflict resolution situations. The launch ceremony was held in the presence of the Governor of Kerala, Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar and the Union Minister, Suresh Gopi.
The drone is designed to support the elephant darting process by facilitating aerial-assisted tranquilization with greater accuracy. This not only reduces risks to forest personnel on the ground but also minimizes interference with the elephants in dangerous situations.
Garuda Aerospace designed this drone for the Tamil Nadu Forest Department almost 10 years ago. Since then, there has been continuous improvement through innovation to meet the Forest Department's requirements. The latest version of this designed drone is the zenith of this constant process of improvement and upgrade to suit the requirements of the Forest Department.
Garuda Aerospace has previously provided more than a few drones to prominent conservation organizations such as the World Wildlife Fund and several Forest Departments across India.
Due to the increasing human-elephant conflicts, the government of India continues to seek answers to this problem. Drone-assisted elephant darting offers a more effective, competent and humane solution to this problem. This drone is evidence of Garuda Aerospace’s dedication to using drones for a cause, for serving the nation, to serve the community and to serve the greater good in wildlife conservation, disaster management, agri-industries and the military.
Garuda Aerospace is India’s leading Drone tech start-up, disrupting two major multi-billion-dollar sectors: precision agriculture tech and Industry 4.0 upgradation. Garuda Aerospace is asset-light, recession-proof and agnostic and focuses on eliminating labourers in the agricultural field with drones, designing, building and customizing drones.
