frameworks, and other key advances. However, in specific areas of the field of unmanned military frameworks, Russia might be creeping in front of its opposition in planning and testing a wide assortment of frameworks and conceptualizing their future use.

      3.3.4 India

      In August 2017, the Indian Army stated that it intends to utilize several indigenously assembled robots to fight against terrorists in Jammu and Kashmir. Purportedly these robots can convey ammo at the planned areas in the event of perilous and crisis circumstances has just endorsed a military proposition to enlist 544 robots for this reason. These robots are lightweight and consist of reconnaissance cameras and transmission frameworks with a scope of 200 meters [25, 36].

      The Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) was established in 1958, and ever since it has been working to make the Indian Army powerful in terms of technology. The DRDO has more than 1800+ industry partnerships and has collaborated with these companies to make equipment, systems, products and technologies for the army, some of which are [25]:

       Daksh – Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV)

       NETRA – Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV)

       Confined Space Remotely Operated Vehicle (CSROV)

       Surveillance Remotely Operated Vehicle (SROV) (on the verge of induction)

       Unexploded Ordnance Handling Robot (UXOR)

      Robotics has a broad area of application in warfare because there are many dangerous tasks which should be performed by robots instead of humans like diffusing IEDs and bombs. In warfare there are several tasks to perform for which there are many types of specially designed robots. Armed forces can use robots to search out enemies in any kind of situation and destroy them. Robots can be a surveillance system, an autonomous tank, an aerial drone or an armed soldier. Some of the application areas of robotics are presented below.

      3.4.1 Autonomous Drones

      Drones or unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are used all over the world by armies. They are armed with GPS, an infrared camera, and lasers, which makes them more dangerous. Unmanned aerial vehicles are IoT enabled. They are all connected with each using IoT techniques. The internet of things (IoT) provides a platform to connect devices so they can communicate with each other, transfer data using the cloud for better user experience or to perform military operations very efficiently [34]. As per a report by Goldman Sachs, global militaries will have spent $70 billion on UAV innovationsby 2020 [27].

      3.4.2 Autonomous Tanks and Vehicles

      Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are used for security in the skies in a similar manner as autonomous tanks and vehicles are used for security on ground. They help reduce the risk of losing human life in warfare. Tanks can be autonomous or semi-autonomous and are equipped with surveillance systems, sensors, cameras, and weapons. UAVs are connected with each other through the internet of things (IoT) and communicate with each other on IoT platforms using the cloud. The IoT is an emerging technology like artificial intelligence (AI), the cloud and big data.
