BENGALURU-headquartered drone manufacturer Scandron has stated that it is expecting orders from the Indian Army in the next 5-6 months. With the intention to offer the Army seamless, quick last-mile connectivity solutions, into areas that would conventionally require mules or human effort to reach over a longer period of time, Scandron, a subsidiary of Magellanic Cloud Ltd, has designed and tested, and will manufacture specific drones to suit the job. Right now, a substantial number of its CargoMax 4000QX (40-kg payload) and CargoMax 6000H (75 kg) drones are expected to be on order.

Stating that the company is the only one with a complete solution, Scandron Founder and CEO Arjun Naik said, "All our drones are certified for high-altitude flying...and the Army's requirement is for an altitude of 15,000-17,000 ft. Our drones work very well at those heights and conditions. They even function at night, and are more versatile than a helicopter."
