The Indian Army is collaborating with ZUPPA Geo Navigation Technologies Pvt Ltd to enhance the cybersecurity of its drone fleet. ZUPPA's Suraksha Edge Monitoring Device (EMD) is India's first indigenous cybersecurity solution for drones, designed to prevent unauthorized control and hacking attempts. This system ensures drone integrity through features like anomaly detection, attacker blocking, and an automatic "Return to Home" command. This development aligns with India’s Atmanirbhar Bharat initiative, reducing dependence on foreign technology and strengthening defense capabilities.

The use of drones in modern warfare, as seen in global conflicts like Russia-Ukraine and Israel-Hamas, highlights their importance as force multipliers. However, their increasing vulnerability to cyberattacks necessitates robust defenses like Suraksha. ZUPPA's end-to-end indigenous solutions position it as a key player in securing India's military drone infrastructure.
