PASIGHAT, July 13: 

The Indian Army's Spearhead Gunners, under the aegis of the Spearhead Division, successfully conducted a five-day Basic Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) and Counter-Unmanned Aerial System (C-UAS) Training Programme for around 120 NCC cadets of the 22 AP NCC Battalion in Arunachal Pradesh.

The training was held from July 8 to 10 at the 22 AP NCC Battalion, Pasighat, followed by practical sessions from July 11 to 12 at the Sigar Military Station.

The programme offered cadets comprehensive exposure to modern drone technology through a series of lecture-cum-demonstrations, simulator-based training, live drone flying, equipment displays, drone repair demonstrations, and interactive practical sessions. 

Participants were introduced to the fundamentals of drones and their components, as well as the operational use of UAS in surveillance and reconnaissance missions.

Cadets also received hands-on training in Counter-UAS (C-UAS) techniques, gaining insight into identifying and responding to potential drone threats through practical demonstrations conducted by Army personnel.

The initiative aimed to enhance the technical knowledge and operational awareness of NCC cadets, equipping them with a better understanding of the growing role of drones and counter-drone systems in modern military operations. 

The enthusiastic participation of the cadets reflected their eagerness to learn emerging technologies and defence-related skills.

The Indian Army said such initiatives reaffirm its commitment to promoting innovation, technical awareness and skill development among the youth while strengthening its engagement with the young generation of Arunachal Pradesh.
