In a significant leap towards modern warfare preparedness, the Panther Gunners have spearheaded the establishment of a cutting-edge Drone Warfare Node, designed to train personnel from Artillery, Infantry, and Punjab Police in advanced drone operations and precision strikes. This initiative underscores the Indian Armed Forces’ commitment to integrating emerging technologies into battlefield tactics.

A Hub for Advanced Drone Warfare Training
The newly established Drone Warfare Node features:
- Advanced Drone Simulators: Providing real-time, virtual combat experiences to hone precision and tactical decision-making skills.
- Tactical Obstacle Courses: Designed to simulate battlefield environments, enabling trainees to navigate complex terrains and execute drone-based operations under simulated combat stress.
- Live Battlefield Scenarios: Offering realistic, mission-based training to enhance coordination between drone operators and ground forces.
The comprehensive training program equips participants with the skills required to effectively utilize Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) for surveillance, reconnaissance, and precision strikes.
Multi-Force Collaboration: Artillery, Infantry, and Punjab Police
This joint training initiative brings together personnel from:
- Artillery and Infantry Regiments, leveraging their expertise in precision targeting and ground combat operations.
- Punjab Police, enhancing their capabilities for counter-terrorism, anti-narcotics operations, and border security using drone technology.
The collaboration aims to promote inter-agency synergy, enabling seamless coordination in both conventional and asymmetric warfare scenarios.
Empowering Modern Warriors with Next-Gen Skills
The training program focuses on:
- Drone Piloting Techniques: From take-off to advanced aerial maneuvers.
- Surveillance and Reconnaissance: Using real-time aerial imagery to gather intelligence.
- Drone Swarm Tactics: Simulating coordinated drone attacks for maximum impact.
- Counter-Drone Operations: Developing techniques to detect and neutralize hostile drones.

Preparing for Future Conflicts
With drones becoming a critical component of modern warfare, from border surveillance to tactical strikes, this initiative ensures that Indian forces remain future-ready. The Panther Gunners, known for their expertise in artillery warfare, are now at the forefront of embracing and integrating next-generation technologies into their combat doctrine.
This pioneering effort not only enhances the combat capabilities of the Indian Armed Forces but also strengthens civil-military cooperation, ensuring that state law enforcement agencies like the Punjab Police are equipped to tackle emerging security challenges effectively.
