Project Vayu Baan: IAF Develops Helicopter-Dropped Loitering Munition for Stand-Off Strikes

One of the most important aspects of Vayu Baan is its expected ability to function in a GNSS-denied environment. Modern combat zones are increasingly saturated with jamming and spoofing systems designed to interfere with satellite navigation. A drone that depends entirely on GPS can therefore become unreliable at precisely the moment it is needed most. The IAF requirement consequently places emphasis on autonomous navigation even when satellite-navigation signals are unavailable or disrupted.
