About Indian Army Army Training Command
Army Training Command is the Indian Army's training command, with its headquarters in Shimla. Its internships are listed on the AICTE Internship Portal, where students apply with their college details. The listing names Odisha as the place of work. Some projects may involve working at more than one Army location; check the listing for details.
Internship Details
Small drones have become a serious security threat. They can be bought cheaply, flown by almost anyone, and used to spy on or attack army positions, airports, power plants and other important places. One of the most promising answers is the interceptor drone: A fast hunter drone that chases a hostile drone in the air and takes it out.
It is cheaper than a missile, reusable, and precise. The highspeed interceptor drone platform is already built and available. A human operator always stays in the loop and gives the final approval.
Roles and Responsibilities
The listing describes the work like this:
Because they are small, fast and fly close to the ground, they are hard to spot on radar and hard to hit with traditional antiaircraft guns, which were designed for much larger aircraft.
