Problem
Access to reliable, high‑performance unmanned aerial systems (UAS) for defence, commercial, and environmental missions is limited by dependence on foreign‑origin technology, which can create supply chain vulnerabilities, integration challenges, and higher lifecycle costs.
Solution
Tunga develops fully indigenous, end‑to‑end drone platforms that are designed, engineered, and manufactured in India. Leveraging a Center of Excellence at IIT Madras, the company creates RPAS solutions capable of rapid aerial deployment for emergency response, intelligence gathering, and persistent surveillance. Each system is built to operate in demanding environments while providing lifetime reliability and support. The drones are offered as complete, ready‑to‑fly packages that can be integrated with existing mission‑critical workflows, enabling customers to reduce reliance on external suppliers and maintain operational sovereignty.
Target Audience
Primary customers include defence agencies, security forces, and commercial operators such as infrastructure inspectors, disaster‑response teams, and environmental monitoring organizations seeking domestically sourced UAV solutions.
