India’s first Unmanned Aerial Systems (Drone) Common Testing Centre under Defence Testing Infrastructure Scheme (DTIS) will be established in Tamil Nadu.
This centre would be established at the SIPCOT Industrial Park, Vallam Vadagal near Sriperumbudur.
This will be established by the Tamil Nadu Industrial Development Corporation (TIDCO).
TIDCO is the nodal agency for the implementation of the Tamil Nadu Defence Industrial Corridor (TNDIC).
The testing centre would enable the State to be a significant contributor to the self-reliance of the country in the aerospace and defence sectors.
