Bharat Forge has announced a strategic collaboration with French firm Turgis Gaillard to offer the AAROK MALE UAV for India’s defense needs. The high-altitude UAV supports long-range surveillance and multi-domain operations, with a 1.5-tonne payload and 24+ hours flight time. Bharat Forge will set up local production to ensure self-reliance in manufacturing, maintenance, and overhaul. This move strengthens Bharat Forge’s defense portfolio and aligns with increased demand for advanced indigenous military technology.
