<h1>Military workshop and private defence firm agree MoU to fast-track AI flight control and standard drone platform development</h1> A memorandum of understanding between a military workshop and a private defence technology firm establishes a cooperation framework to accelerate AI-enabled drone capabilities for land systems, focusing on an AI flight control system and a standard drone operating platform. The agreement provides for technical consultancy, subsystem reviews, integration readiness assessments, and support for manufacturing trials, validation and certification, with emphasis on interoperability, safety and conformity to military standards. The MoU aims to bolster indigenous production, reduce import dependence, shorten time-to-field for AI-enabled solutions, and create a replicable model for future programmes and subsystems.
