The official partnership between 3F Advanced Systems, a subsidiary of $750mil 3F Group India, and UMS SKELDAR, the joint venture between Saab and UMS Aero, is the first collaboration of its kind in the subcontinent and will be the launch of the company’s ‘Make in India’ technological development programme.
The requirement for UAVs is on the rise as both the military and wider civilian sectors begin to understand the benefits they can bring. Through the new exclusive partnership with 3F Advanced Systems, UMS SKELDAR – Europe’s only provider of both Rotary and Fixed Wing unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) platforms – showcased the capabilities of its unique SKELDAR V-200 via both a first air show live demonstration in the region, during the 2017 Aero Show in Bangalore.

Ashiis Goenka, Managing Director of 3F Advanced Systems, and member of the 3F board adds: “The applications for UAVs are increasing rapidly among India’s armed forces, central and state police forces as well as among private sector organisations, which are all beginning to realise the immense utility and efficacy of UAVs. As part of the country’s Make in India programme, we have a strategic requirement to provide this expanding marketplace with a best in class range of UAV platforms that can not only gather the required intelligence quickly and efficiently, but also be a cost-effective alternative to the manned aircraft and crews currently used. This is what we have gained thanks to the partnership with UMS SKELDAR.” |
